Attach any specific things to that as subtasks, y'all.
Thanks for getting the discussion started. I was talking about this yesterday with some people and yeah, file and revision sha1s immediately came to mind.
Also possibly a future issue: Git--but we'll mostly want to wait for various upstreams to make progress here. There's some interesting thoughts over at this fork[0] (h/t to Tim)
But, like you said (and Dan pointed out on the task), this is far from a drop everything situation...we just need to start making some inroads to this sooner rather than later. Since it's broken, making it faster is an optimization problem so the writing is on the wall.
