On my gcc tree, a plain "svn status" takes a full minute (at the top
level).  I think that is much too long a time for Emacs to be
unresponsive.  So, I would prefer async operation for the dir-status
by default -- right now I simply can't use vc-dired for my work, and I
would like to be able to use something.

I do agree that a particular back end could choose to work
synchronously.
