Now that I've thought about it more, I remembered that we have one known
outstanding synchronous bit, recursively processing directories (which
adding monitors uses).

Bug 325215[0] is our general "improve startup time" bug (for marking
dupes and patches), and I have a mostly-done patch to fix the recusing
issue on it. Looking at the patch again, cleaning it up and getting it
into cvs is on my (large) list of things to do. If I haven't done
anything regarding it in a few days time, feel free to poke me so I
remember.
