I will take another look what is needed to support file based configuration. You are probably second or third person interested in the file based configuration for exactly same reason you outlined or/and to be able to move software and configuration across computers while traveling using flash drive. There are some challenges to resolve.

For typical user, working with the registry is a bit risky. Safe way is to create export & import batch/command file to export/import registry data (using Reg export ../Reg import .. commands).

I checked the list of your file sizes and I am quite sure it would not take longer than 1 hour, probably much less, if you would use the local drive. Some steps in the merge process are running is separate threads and some...
