Technically, the interactive counterpart is simply a shell script that
calls the git-rebase binary along with a bunch of other things. See
git-rebase--interactive in the the source tree. Your observations
about speed mainly have to do with how the interactive counterpart
recursively cherry-picks and rebases.
