I KNOW from my own editing that once I have more than a few hundred nodes then I 
need to commit that change and start a new one. So perhaps what is needed here 
is some mechanism in the editors to keep the maximum commit down to a certain 
size? Any 'local import' would be restricted to what is a manageable size once 
committed? The time warnings should restrict things, but a 'size' limit so that 
one has to commit once that limit is reached?
