That is a heck of an improvement. It is only uses 40% of the time it used 
before! On other machines, with other OSes, this makes the difference 
between 10 minutes and 4 minutes.

BTW I am not quite sure if you missed this patch: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/36212/, or if you 
did not like it, want enhancements, ...

Ciao,
