David,

I applied the patch and checked out a few things. Everything looks good 
to me.  In fact, these changes seem to have improved the overall plugin 
install process even from the console (at least it appeared to me that 
the plugins were installed much more quickly).

Please go ahead and integrate these changes into branches/2.1.4 and 
branches/2.1.

Thanks!
Joe
