Could this have a checkbox in Settings for large projects where it becomes a 
hindrance?

Yes, but that is easier to swallow since it's a one time deal. The build issue 
is much more frequent :)

I'm working on a 'custom C++' project. The directory that I pointed KDevelop 
at has 5500+ files (the majority of them being source files) in 800+ 
directories. It was even worse when I had it pointed at the 'top' source 
directory that has 8100+ files in 1200+ directories :)

Thanks :) It was another reason I could not use KDevelop to also build the 
project. One step closer now! :)

I've also noticed that 'Add <file> to Project' has been significantly sped up 
and now multiple files can be added in one fell swoop. Thanks to whoever did 
it! :)

Now if only that could be done recursively from the top directory (especially 
handy for custom projects that are also changed by people that don't use 
KDevelop).

Cheers,
