git version 1.7.1, Mac OS X 10.6.3, largish repo (42K files, 35K
commits, well packed ~ 1GB). Difference between origin and HEAD is a
single commit.

$ time git diff --stat origin  >/dev/null

real	0m0.942s
user	0m0.713s
sys	0m0.223s

$ time git diff --stat origin  >/dev/null

real	0m0.944s
user	0m0.712s
sys	0m0.227s

$ time git diff --stat origin  >/dev/null

real	0m0.944s
user	0m0.712s
sys	0m0.225s

$ time git diff --stat origin HEAD >/dev/null

real	0m0.022s
user	0m0.006s
sys	0m0.012s

$ time git diff --stat origin HEAD >/dev/null

real	0m0.022s
user	0m0.006s
sys	0m0.013s

$ time git diff --stat origin HEAD >/dev/null

real	0m0.023s
user	0m0.006s
sys	0m0.013s

These should be identical commands, so why is the "origin HEAD" form
running an order of magnitude faster?

Because I'm an idiot. Three times I ran "origin" and thought I was
running "origin..". Sigh.

Isn't "git diff --stat origin" comparing against the working tree?
