So that means analyzing the tree takes longer than building it in the
first place, right?  I'm not sure what algorithm you use for that, since
I don't understand your code ;-)  Maybe there's a quadratic complexity
in there, which could be improved upon.  Did you check how CVS does it?

We'd have to test on a few more real-world files, and on a real-world
machine (forgive me, I mean >300MHz :-)  If it stays below a minute for
very large/complex change histories, I'd say we're still fine.

I have access to a few more complicated RCS masters, and will try your
code on those.
