I think making allocation/deallocation to the central place is a
good cleanup, but I am not sure about the free-nodes reusing.
Does this make difference in real life?

It definitely does, though nor very much. I have no real numbers at
hand (being home now), but I remember it was 1 min with against 3 min
without the patch on cygwin+fat32, which is already bad enough all by
itself. Very big repository with no redundant packs in it.

Would you mind sharing the .idx files?

this time I probably would (they're not here)... But for a perfomance
testing any big repository will do, linux kernel, for example.
