Hi Julio!

There are a few things to gain from this:
1. Errors with cat’ing the files are caught when sed transformations aren’t applied to the files.
2. Less resources are used in generating the files if sed isn’t needed:
	i. Less forked processes.
	ii. No pipelines need to be created.
I don’t have numbers for how much faster it is (probably negligible if done once, potentially more noticeable if done as a micro benchmark), but I could do this if you like.

Thank you!
