It has to be hot-cache, otherwise time taken to read the refs from disk will
mean that it is always slow.  On my Mac it seems to _always_ be slow reading
the refs from disk, so even the "fast" case still takes ~17m.

Ah, that seems unfortunate. Not sure how to test it then.

If you care about performance, a perf test suite could be made,
perhaps as a separate project. The output would be charts or
spreadsheets, that interesting parties can look at and point out
regressions. We may start with a set of common used operations.
