I haven't been following the recent discussion in detail, but here's another thought: If you want to look up the parents, it's usually faster (at least when caching is enabled) to get them all in a single call. IOW, don't look up the parent for each hash as it appears, but collect all hashes and then get a list of all parents with a single call.
