Feature Suggestion: use md5 to determine if a single less file has been changed to speed up imports

In regards to lessc --watch.

Since there may be a noticeable delay between saving a file and the processing completion, one way to speed this up would be to split the less into multiple files, use import and have the watching lessc do md5 hashes on files after importing, speeding up the sequential imports (as long as the lessc deamon is running) since non-modified files wouldn't need to be parsed again.

Perhaps such as feature could speed up things a bit when developing and using --watch?
