I've made a test branch, `bs`, to see what kind of performance improvement
to expect. Most commands don't built yet in that branch, but `git annex
find` does. Speedups range from 28-66%. The files fly by much more

Benchmarking `git-annex find`, speedups range from 28-66%. The files fly by

than find so the improvement is not as large.
The `bs` branch is in a mergeable state now, but still needs work:
