Rollup bundles all of the files and dependencies into one file. That will greatly decrease install time since it will not need to install most of the dependencies and it will decrease startup time since there will be less require() calls.
Rollup does not work well with code written before es6. The install times should greatly improve anyway after removing the fork framework and it's dependencies.
Babel will allow us to use es2015.
