Is it possible to do the rebuilds in parallel? I noticed that only one
of my four cores was used. And that on smolt 63% of people have a
dual-core or greater, so it could lead to massive speed-ups as well.

Although, personally I would be happy even if the rebuild was a tenth
the current speed -- as for me the priority is reducing the load on
the network link. Which brings me to the next point:

Would it be possible to have a diff on the filelist db? It seems like
a very large download for something that would change very little.
