moe: with current git (and thus the 1.5.3 release), the "git status" 
commands now take half a second for me, and the git commit takes just 
under a second.

The *initial* commit that adds everything still takes almost 5 seconds, 
but that was due to generating the diffstat summary - with a "-q" on the 
commit line that too drops down to just under a second.

In fact, the only thing that took more than a second for me with the 
current git is that initial "git add .", which took 1.791s for me. 
Considering that it had to hash all the 100,000 objects, I'm not 
surprised.

Anyway, it would be good if you re-did your real work tree with current 
commit, just to verify. You have slower hardware than I do, but hopefully 
it is now just about as fast as it can be.
