Oh, yes, just like you said in your email with the initial sample? OK, but don't make it faster those ways. Why don't you do this one thing that doesn't actually do what we think it does? Oh, because then you'll write a test mode to prove that it doesn't work very well? Yuck, too complicated. You failed. Can you do the Vagrant thing?
