Looks good to me.
One command that helps (and that you can put in your Makefile for debugging):

./bin/asdf-builder re '(uiop:writeln (sort
(alexandria:hash-table-alist asdf::*source-registry*) `string< :key
`car))'

I pushed a branch faster-registry. The code change is a fix to uiop
and a disabled-by-default special-variable-controlled option to not
recurse once a .asd file is found. There is also a TODO entry based on
my previous comments on asdf-devel: I believe the solution is to
implement support for a [.]?cl-source-registry[.]conf file that asdf
consults when searching a :tree + a script (part of asdf-tools?) to
for developers, package managers and system administrators to
automatically generate such a file when desired.
