Some positive feedback on the responsiveness of bzr(explorer)

Forgive me, I do not have my previous data in front of me; it is in the
mailing list archives.

Either I have become much more patient (unlikely), more forgiving (also not
very probable) or bzr has become noticeably faster and less of a memory hog
in the 2.4 series.

Using my favorite real-life test repository, with 15k files in 700 folders
adding up to 1.5GB, I see the following in bzr explorer:

add -- 9s to find files and put then in the list pane, plus another 58
seconds to actually add

refresh view -- 8 seconds

commit -- 6 sec to load the list plane, plus 5.25 minutes to actually commit

refresh view -- 55 seconds

This was with the bzr installed as part of the windows standalone installer
2.4b1 but overloaded with brand new bzr-explorer rev 510 and qbzr rev 1385.

Maximum memory consumption during commit was 315MB.  Total page faults about
800,000 (on a machine with 2GB RAM).

There is still work to be done as Alexander has said, but overall this is
much better than the bzr 2.2 days.  Thank you and congratulations!
