(just a > guess/question) In the hot cache case, I assume the index stays in OS cache anyway so hard drive should not impact much (the other parts of git-status like index refresh or untracked file listing is a different story and some may fall out of cache). My laptop has 4G ram, with my repeated tests, I guess the index (even 200mb) stayed in the cache (but did not really verify it). -- Duy
