How do people efficiently develop in Wigwam4?

I have a project that contains 3 in-project packages and uses a private 
package archive in addition to the public package archive.

I'm quite frustrated at the additional lag time that is introduced into 
the edit->test->edit cycle.  It went from a few seconds to 2.5 minutes!

For instance, making a one-line change to a Perl module that is part of 
an in-project package and then running a test script that exercises 
that module now takes > 2 minutes because of the inordinate amount of 
time that 'packagectl update-packages' takes, uninstalls all my 
in-project packages, re-installs all my in project packages, probably 
syncing for each package.

So:

1. Is there a more fine-grained way of saying "just build and install 
this one in-project package"?

2. Is there a way to disable the syncing that 'packagectl' seems to do 
at the drop of a hat?

3. Is there a somewhat elegant way to route-around 'packagectl' so I 
can just install the in-project package myself, without going through 
all the crap that 'packagectl' does?

4. How does everyone else deal with this problem?  I can't really 
believe that people put up with a 150 second delay between file save 
and script run.
