To some extent, they make life easier. I have a project with couple of 
thousand files, and couple of thousand revisions. I tried using greedy 
libraries, but creating one takes hours for revision 1000.
And many tla operations became too slow with the library. Then I deleted 
revision library, this took hours too. This is on linux with ext3.

I ended up using revision library set to greedy and sparse.
