Oh, yes.  At least for an unchanged tree, there's no reason monotone
has to be slower than git for this, since the inodeprints file is just
an ordinary local file.  And I guess it's possible the bug is indeed
related: what I was seeing was just *so* slow that when it got
reasonable I assumed the problem had been fixed, but perhaps it's
doing n times as many stats as necessary for some smaller n.  Should
be easy to test: count the number of stats for a couple of different
sized checkouts.
