Re: pip install very slow

Yes, that does seems to be the problem.  For now I
was able move the large directory out of the project
directory and put a symlink in the project directory
pointing to it.  It appears that pip/setuptools
doesn't follow symlinks thankfully.  Not ideal but
workable for now.
