Do we have any performance requirements for the 1.7 release? If a
particular operation, say checkout, is X times slower than the 1.6
operation, we consider it a performance regression? I feel like
checkout, with a 2x performance drop which I saw in recent performance
tests, is a large regression:

Do we need to be faster than 1.6 to do a release? Do we want to say,
all operations are at least X% faster? It's a much more powerful
statement than saying, some operations are faster and some are the
same speed.
I don't feel that strongly about upgrade taking forever, since many
people can do a fresh checkout, but I could see this being an issue
for people with uncommitted changes in their working copy or
changelists.
