So, if I understand correctly "darcs whatsnew" on a GHC repo with no  
changes takes 7.60 seconds with old-fashioned-inventory format and  
8.08 seconds with hashed-format.

Is it this added 0.48 seconds which is what deterred the GHC  
developers from switching to hashed format?

Or did they experience significantly worse slowdowns on their systems  
(Windows) and their workflows (perhaps lots of unrecorded changes?).

Also, could anyone state why the GHC developers didn't switch to  
darcs-2-format?

Thanks!
