Believe me, any VCS will be slow once you throw enough files at it. I've
had to disable Emacs Mercurial integration because I was sick of waiting
three seconds for hg status -A and hg log -l1 --template '{rev}' to run
every time I visited a file. I've been working on a _very_ large repository.

I'd rather we always show a window and always run asynchronously.
