I've been trying that with smaller models and had to make some adjustments (e.g. they all really wanted to include the filename twice). So I just make a small tweak and bam suddenly I can edit code with small fast cheap models.

In short, it's developing in the wrong direction. I switched from Mathematica to Matlab in my work; it was the best investment of time in the entire project
