We don't currently store the full history of each page in RESTBase, so your
first access will trigger an on-demand parse of older revisions not yet in
storage, which is relatively slow. Repeat accesses will load those
revisions from disk (SSD), which will be a lot faster.
With a majority of clients now supporting HTTP2 / SPDY, use cases that
benefit from manual batching are becoming relatively rare. For a use case
like revision retrieval, HTTP2 with a decent amount of parallelism should
be plenty fast.
