[Monotone-devel] Syncing time

[Florian Weimer]

Downloading the monotone repository with 0.17 just finished.  It took
over one hour, on my reasonably fast laptop.  Most of the time is not
spent on networking, but in the "verifying new revisions" stage.  I
don't think this is acceptable.

Is this a known issue?  Or could it be a local build problem which
results in inefficient bignum code or something like that?
