+1 to that approach. I think in the long term, egg-based Zope 
application should want to get away from zope.app.zcmlfiles In 
particular, zope.app.zcmfiles is the epitome of the ZMI app: it loads 
all the browser stuff and configures the zmi_actions + zmi_views menu.

Not loading zope.app.zcmlfiles but instead selectively loading only the 
stuff we need will likely reduce the ZCML processing time as well.

Death to zope.app.zcmlfiles!
