What kind of repo are you trying that on?

I haven't myself tried the gitweb incremental blame but I do know
that one of my day-job repositories can take *ages* for git-gui's
`git blame --incremental -C -C -w` pass.  Most of the revisions
for some of the blobs are far back in history, and there's a lot of
files to look at for copy/movement.  Plus some of that history is
downright *messy* (I posted gitk screenshots of it not too long ago).

I'll try to give the gitweb incremental blame a try on that repo
tomorrow.
