That time in checking things in is worrisome.
"git" is basically linear in the size of the patch, which is what I want,
since most patches I work with are a couple of files at most. The patches
you are checking in are huge - I never actually work with a change that is
as big as a whole release. I work with changes that are five files or
something.
"hg" seems to basically slow down the more patches you have applied. It's
hard to tell from the limited test set, but look at "user" time. It seems
to increase from 6 seconds to 27 seconds.
To make an interesting benchmark, try applying the first 200 patches in
the current git kernel archive. Can you do them three per second? THAT is
the thing you should optimize for, not checking in huge changes.
If you're checking in a change to 1000+ files, you're doing something
wrong.

You're doing something wrong with git here. Why would you need to update
your cache?
