It is not a problem to always have 1000 files (or twice of it) if this is the project size. But it is a real problem to always suddently get 1,000,000 files after N tla operations.

Have you ever lived at a place where all HOMEs are on NFS? I didn't claim you should hack in $HOME. Better do it in /data/projects/. Anyway, I support adding interactive "tla setup" command and having it as the first command in all tutorials (instead of my-id). But I can't love a software (any) that allocates massive ever-growing cache without asking.
