A revision-library is probably the simplest way.

Try this:

mkdir $HOME/arch/revision-library
tla my-revision-libaray ~/arch/revision-library
tla library-config --greey ~/arch/revision-library

Switch to your project, run 'tla changes' and then re-run your tests and
see if things have been sped-up.

Note, I just happen to store my revision-library in
~/arch/revision-library, you can store in any directory you like.

Cheers,
Anand
