Well, I don't run git-blame too often, and then it is mostly confined to a 
certain file / lines combo. So git-blame is fast enough for me.

It is slower than Subversion's counterpart, just because SVN's blame 
sucks. You cannot find out the _relevant_ information easily, i.e. once 
you merged something, the _merge_ gets attributed for the change (at least 
the last time I tried it).

So, don't blame blame for being useful in git.

Of course, you could introduce a cache, but then, I don't run blame _that_ 
often.

Besides, we already introduced an orthogonal historisation by reflogs, and 
your method would not cope gracefully with that, would it?
