[TxMt] Major Project Issues with Refresh (Textmate is unusable)

I know this has been talked about before from various angles and there is a
(very poor) workaround in the Textmate FAQ, but I'd like to make sure there
are absolutely no more options.

The problem is, as most of you are aware, Textmate refreshes it's project
list every time the Textmate window gains focus and any other time the
software deems a project refresh necessary.

This is fine for small projects of a few hundred files or less, but it's
absolutely asinine for large projects with many files.  When I switch back
from reading docs in a browser or whatever, I have to wait for several
seconds of spinning beach ball while Textmate refreshes the entire project
list.

How can I turn this off?  Seriously.  How can I stop Textmate from
automatically refreshing the entire project?   I don't mind that it just
takes some time to refresh the number of files I have in my project, but I
do mine that it thinks it needs to refresh on focus every time.  I know when
my files get updated and I know what's going on in my project directories.  
I want to control the refresh so it only happens when IO know files actually
change.

(Before you ask, these are local project files and I'm using a year old
Macbook Pro with 2GB of ram and a 7200 rpm HD upgrade.  This is not a
machine or network problem.)
