If sha1 verification in the index file can now be optionally skipped, I wonder if you would have faster startup time by storing hashes in the index as an extension. I have never tried it (though I planned to have some sort of caching for this) but I would guess loading hashes would cost less than 0.27 seconds, hopefully closer to 0.05 seconds. -- Duy
