I believe that actually loading source code from somewhere, compiling and
installing it are not that slow, it is everything that happens around that,
source code and change logging, tool notification, etc, ..
For accepting one method change, that is all good, but not when loading massive
amounts of code.
We had discussions about this before, I think this is a really important issue.
