*Huge* improvements. It is now really nice to start up gitk even on the 
full kernel history.

However, that crazy green bar chasing back-and-forth int he "reading" 
phase is really quite visually distracting. Maybe it looks better in 
Tk8.5, but it does look pretty annoying in the version I have. Can you 
tone that down a bit? 

But this has both the layout performance improvements and the fixes to 
only show selected files in the diff view by default, so I hope this gets 
merged into standard git soon..
