I wouldn't have noticed it either, if it wasn't for the fact that my 
kernel tree was out-of-cache for other testing reasons. When cached, the 
difference was still quite noticeable, but I would probably not have 
noticed the difference between half a second and a second and a half.

But a commit that took over a minute due to IO was very noticeable 
indeed..
