Yeah, well..

That's more of a "If you really want to be incredibly slow, depend on an 
unbelievably baroque model, _and_ you are too stupid to understand the 
fact that you only need to sign the tip", then use Monotone.

But yes, the "sign each commit" is one of the big design mistakes in 
Monotone. Go ask them about how much pain it has caused them.
