Merging mods to increase Performance!

Wow, such a quick response!
I feel a little sheepish. Umm, that's the first time I've heard of Granthe's Launcher. The reason I switched over to merging my packages in the first place was the massive performance increase at load-up. I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but merging them brings load times down to "acceptable."
Anyway, I'll go look into that launcer. If it does the same job, I'll switch over. If I see longer loading times, I'll just persevere with the file-monitoring. Like I said, I don't merge that large file very often at all, mostly I'm just merging Hacks packages that get updated on a daily basis.
If you could thank Peter fo the implementation for me, Inge, that would be super. Thanks.
It's not just s3pe that creates temp files in that folder. Many things do, and also remain uncleared. Its probably only noticed due to the size of the mods being merged. I use ccleaner to get rid of all that junk on a regular basis.

Thanks for the info, Rushad.
I tried out the program, went to the bother to file everything under categories within the program (which took time), and tried to run it. It didn't work for some reason. I could tell because I have a no-intro mod and the intro kept coming up. I checked things, but it wouldn't merge/load my mods. I uninstalled it.
But I have good news! I'm currently using the 64-bit version of s3pe and I was able to use it to merge together 856 MB into one package of 228 MB, without having to save-as-you-go. I just tried it and it worked. I've tried to do this the past (with the same packages), but with eariler versions of the program and only with the 32-bit version, and it always ended up crashing. But, it didn't this time.
I find my own file organizational skills + s3pe-x64 to be exactly what I need. So, Inge, please don't take the functionality out just because I made a fuss.
Oh, and another reason I'm not going to use that launcer (above it not working for me) is because I couldn't figure out how to make 3booter work with it.
I probably won't be around for a while, so cya guys.
