That could be sped up by noticing which files would normally be excluded
by dired and using using that information to set an 'excluded 
property value.  If dir-state did that, all those calls would be avoided

Yes, this has annoyed me.  Yes another reason to think about rewriting
vc-state and substantially enriching the repertoire of states it can
pass back.
