 > I think it would be appropriate to avoid loading the entire WordPress
 404 process for missing static files.

 Agreed. However, the web server has no way of knowing whether /subsite
 /non-dir/ is a request for a file system folder or a post/page on the
 subsite. The request has to be passed to WP for WP to determine if the
 content exists.
