Crash on large set of files that need modified about gulp-rev-replace HOT 3 OPEN

I'm not really sure how to go about fixing this. I'm thinking that if you have that many files running through gulp-rev-replace, it might be worth rethinking how your gulpfile is structured?

@jamesknelson its actually a little more interesting then that; rev() requires the file to be read (to compute the hash)... so your actually caching the entire file's contents as well (and if you have a lot of large images for instance).

Ah I see, that kind of makes sense then. I'd be happy to merge a request if you can fix the issue, although seeing I'm not having the problem myself, it would be rather difficult to test.
