The merged files are in fact cached. But in order to calculate the checksum 
the expensive isValidUrl is called for every file which has to be merged.

As far as i can see, in BE all files are local files. In FE in most cases the minority 
of files will be remote files.
So it is quite expensive to check them all for being valid URL's. 

As a quick fix i propose to first check the filename with a less expensive Regex
before checking it with isValidUrl.
This resulted for me in a speedup of ~10% in the Page Module.

I created a gist with the proposed change, let me know what you think about.
