no problem, just to see it was noticed or not :-)

Path comparison (first patch), Sections (second), both?
I know path comparison can be a performance hit on large listings on
sites with heavy traffic. However, I don't see many people accessing
the projects page at the same time for long periods, it's not like
slashdot... people mostly use it to know about repositories and then
use git to track it.
The slowness is due O(n^2) worst case of sort and each step is not
a bit heavier since it need to split path into components and walk
these. Maybe cache the split?--
