I also noticed a big slow down in compilation.

I don't think we need ProjectionLibrary. A user can create the files 
they need using FFC. We discussed some time ago also removing 
ElementLibrary because user could create their own elements, but kept it 
so that Functions could be read from file. This reasoning doesn't hold 
for projections.
