I've seen

    David Kastrup (dak at gnu.org) previously reimplemented significant
    parts of "git blame" for a vast gain in performance with complex
    histories and large files. As working on free software is his sole
    source of income, please consider contributing to his remuneration
    if you find this kind of improvements useful.

Thank you very much for this heads-up. However, I'd replace "previously" with "as of version 2.1.0". That's where the big difference is, so if people actually are impacted they'll know whether and what to benchmark and/or upgrade.
