Yes, but I personally care more of people which have already slow
performance, rather than those which work locally and are blazingly fast. In
fact, we could make svnmerge.py much easier to maintain and much more stupid
by dropping caching, optimization of revision ranges and so forth, were it
only for people working with a local repository.

Much of the carefully tuned code in there is just for those who have slow
connections to their server. And those users should not be penalized as
well.

Check it in the patch and I'll try to provide this information.
