over 100 commits I cannot see any real difference in the timings
between master and that branch. Any difference is within the variation
of the times of multiple runs. The change also fixes a bug when
rewording a re-arranged root commit.

I guess that settles the "efficiency" story; besides, showing a
wrong intermediate state to users and scripts efficiently is just as
bad as showing a wrong state less efficiently.
