Okay, maybe. What you need to do is to do the KRK EGTBs and get a rough handle on how much time it might take to do the rest. I think the normal EGTBs are computationally very cheap compared to what you propose, but that's just me talking off the top of my head. A real test is what is needed." If KRK compares okay in terms of speed and memory use, then you will be in business, but don't be surprised if there is a speed bump ahead of you.
