Doing nicely already. Over here, cold cache (i.e. sleep 70) "git status" goes from 0.8s to around 0.4s. Nice. Hot cache goes from 0.18s to 0.23s. This is really worthwhile if you hack for more than 60s between diffs/stats ;)

This is already with the server doing some caching (first status was 8s or so; hardly reproducible), which I can't control.
