How long did it take to build a history file that big?  How big was the project?

I would have thought checkout records were overkill.  You know what might be
interesting in conjunction with this.  A config file string that took the same 
flags
which can be passed to 'history -x' and filtered records *before* they were 
written
to the history file.
