+Here's the final timing from the second test case with 
+150000 files after all of the above optimisation:
+
+1. 0m0.131s
+2. 33m40.490s
+3. 0m41.027s
+4. 2m59.070s

+(git-annex get from an importtree remote was also sped up a lot;
+it makes the same cid queries as sync #7)
+
+I'm satisfied with this, considering this bug done, unless it's
+somehow still being slow for you.
