Description

Prepare (especially CLI's prepare) is stupidly slow. If you have a modest www/, half a dozen plugins, and the android and ios platforms installed, it takes a couple of seconds. It should be much faster than this.

This bug exists to track my efforts to measure what's slow, and improve the speed.
