Hi,

I noticed that 'git status' in version 1.7.0 is much slower than in 1.6.2.5 on large work trees on NFS - averaging ~13 seconds runtime vs. ~2 seconds. I did a bit of debugging and found that 'git status' apparently doesn't use the multi-threaded preload_index any more, although some other commands like diff still use it. Was it intentionally dropped from 'git status'?
