Thank you for the suggestion, but you did not answer my question.  Is
there a performance penalty, or am I to assume this from your reply?
Perhaps you could provide a list of Internet based repositories that I
can bookmark so I can implement your suggestion and determine for
myself what could have been easily answered by anyone experiencing the
issues alluded to by the original poster.

Of course. I was merely trying to imply that the longer you use a
product, the more likely you are to experience various aspects of its
features, performance, etc.

Is there a difference between updating a repository with a slow
connection verses one with no connection?  I have several repos
bookmarked to which I can only connect when I am at a specific
location, and this does not seem to affect the performance of Versions
at all.

If the updating of repository badges from slow connections does affect
the overall performance of Versions, perhaps this aspect of the
product could be handled by worker threads, leaving the main
application responsive?
