Perhaps because you're using an older version of git-pasky? Newer 
versions use read-tree -m, which speeds up git cancel by several orders 
of magnitude for me.

Btw. gitdiff.sh and gitseek.sh are still using read-tree without "-m", 
so they are still very slow.

For exampel, try "git diff -p" on the kernel. Compare with plain "git diff".
