Yes, that's what I was talking about. No, probably not a huge
difference. I did some performance measurements of all of the recent
cvsimport changes on a small-ish personal repo (I don't have the gentoo
repo). The results were not significant (<= 1% improvement for each
change).  I would expect some of the changes (index-info, fetchfile) to
have an impact on a repo with different characteristics (like the gentoo
one).
