I've set GProject to index all files in the project to be able to use
''Go to tag definition" so it's the time to reindex all files and
tags, not just opening them...

Well, I work on 1 to 4 Drupal projects per week and sometimes I have
to bughunt on even more projects. Every switch will take 4 to 8
minutes, which is "not very relaxing", especially if a collegue is
standing here at my desk...

I also like to shutdown my machine in the weekends to prevent me from
logging in from home ;)
