Well, you actually touched every files in the tree, and there are about

Yes, I know. I wasn't complaining so much about the speed, but rather

accomplish something else (I hadn't seen it before, because I generally
keep my repos fairly packed).
But if you are trying to say that my case is pathological, then yes.
