No, I think we _do_ want some pre-merge cache. That doesn't oblivate the
need to optimize one of the most top-heavy aspects of Apache modules.
Unless you are hiding all your Alias'es at a root directory, there can
be alot of this going on.

I still think optimizing dir merges is a defacto requirement. We just
have to do it gracefully (by pool scope, or whatever.)
