I recommend just trying this to see how it feels. So I think what makes

If the patches are in your local cache, is there any reason for the SLOW
case at all? Why doesn't darcs just use the patches from the cache,
instead of linking them into _darcs/patches and wasting an inode? Is it
to avoid the extra lookup? In which case, perhaps looking in the cache
*first* might be better?
