Right. Then let's use branch -l as the benchmark and forget about tog for now.
It's not even very important to fix the commit-marker delay in tog, just
something I noticed. And it seems Omar has now figured out why the routine
which is reading the file index is so slow (tons of realloc, making the
hundreds of fread calls a secondary issue).

Overall, I am very happy with the progress that's being made on this :)
