Thanks, with that patch Git 1.7.0 is faster than 1.6.2.5 - ~2 seconds
average runtime vs. ~3 seconds (1.6.2.5 got slower since my original test
last night; must be more network and/or file server traffic right now).

I'm not sure how to interpret the "subtle breakage" comment with the
winking smiley.  Do you mean that preload_index in 1.7.0 is not well tested
and may be broken?  FWIW, I didn't notice any breakage, but I didn't do
much testing.
