When using pyro to build our msp's, it takes a very long time to build 
(approximately 5 times as long as building our original installer).  While 
this still isn't that long, it's very frustrating when we're trying to 
build and test our installs!

Am I missing something easy that will make the builds of our patches run 
much faster?  What's actually going on during the 'pyro' processing?  Is 
it the file compares that could be taking that much time?  BTW, the patch 
in question ends up only being about 14K in size, and there's only 1 file 
out of about 960 that is different, and that file is very small (several 
K).  The two installs that are being compared are around 80MB in size when 
built into the MSIs, and are about 150MB uncompressed, I think.

Is there any way to tell the pyro tool to tell me what steps are taking 
the most time so that I can try to understand if there's some 
optimizations we can do to improve it?
