...when I try to pass it ~1500 files to parse in an ACTION_FOR_EACH statement. Well, it doesn't bomb but it hangs indefinitely before even getting to the first component. And I do mean indefinitely - I think I left for a couple hours, came back and it was still sitting there doing nothing. Worked just fine when I gave it batches of 256 files instead. No idea if that's the actual limit though, anyone know?

Parsing of large file lists grew almost exponentially when the parser was switched to elkhound. That's why the old parser wrapper is in the latest versions (as long as you stick to old grammar, the yacc parser will be used and will be lightning quick).
Thanks to research by Taimon, default parsing in v208 should be much faster (although I haven't done any speed tests; it may be slower in normal cases and faster in these edge cases on initial glance, but tolerable overall).
