### Please describe the problem.
I need to discover a potentially existing annex-key for any file in the worktree of a Git repository. I assumed that a batch-mode `lookupkey` would be faster than a `find --json --batch`, but that is not the case.
My test repository has 36k files.
```
❯
git ls-files 0.01s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 2:42.37 total
git annex lookupkey --batch > /dev/null 91.00s user 73.39s system 98% cpu 2:46.25 total
❯
git ls-files 0.01s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 4.093 total
git annex find --anything --json --batch > /dev/null 3.20s user 2.02s system 124% cpu 4.195 total
```
`lookupkey` appears to be many times slower than `find`, although the latter reports much more information.
This surprised me, hence I am reporting it here as a potential bug.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
