Speaking of remote projects, even when a connection is available, 
checking all of the projects for existence might create a large latency, 
simply because of the lag to the remote host.

So I'm not sure what's the best approach here. Though we could just add 
the option as off by default and say that if you turned it on, you 
accept the consequences.
