another recommendation, and one I intend to do at some point: 

have create repo use the current indexes as cache for the dir, it should
compare filenames at first then md5sums after that and if it doesn't
need to open the file again, not do it.

it's been on my list but I scratched it for the short term until things
are ironed out.
