Interesting that you get so much variance between runs. I get 32s user
time first time and 30s the second.
In this test darcs 2 is faster that darcs 1 on v1 format repos and darcs
2 is faster on v2 format repos than on v1 format, though only by a few
seconds.
At a guess, the issue here is that darcs is not indexing those changes
per-file, which is why --last 20 doesn't give the last 20 for that file
and why asking for all changes takes so long. Perhaps if it did cache
this info per-file it'd help with annotate too.

That's an order of magnitude different to what I see:
$ time darcs2 get ghc2 ghc-test
Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C...
Finished getting.
real 0m21.428s
user 0m11.221s
sys 0m1.380s
Note that this is much faster in the darcs v2 format than darcs 2 using
the darcs v1 format:
$ time darcs2 get ghc ghc-test1
Finished getting.
real 1m51.959s
user 1m15.449s
sys 0m11.877s
However darcs v1 is faster still:
$ time darcs1 get ghc ghc-test1_
Copying patch 19084 of 19084... done.
Finished getting.
real 0m8.851s
user 0m3.668s
sys 0m0.708s
It doesn't seem to spend any time applying the patches, unlike what
darcs 2 is doing for v1 or v2 formats.
Though in any case, one doesn't need to darcs get locally since one can
use cp -a right?

We'll be testing this for the code.h.o conversion. We'll keep you
posted.
