Trent:
Thanks much!
Brian is now experiencing the same slowdown with the sid package on a
different Linux machine. I'm Cc:'ing him so that he can read your
suggestions about how to proceed.
By the way, you can access the repo in question at http://
allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk-hashedformat -- it is all Free and
Open software.
Regards,
Zooko

Are you the Debian maintainer for darcs?
Yup!
Petr Rockai (mornfall) is also involved; he's my "sponsor".
My co-worker complained that darcs 2.0.0 pull took more than 60
seconds, and when I did the same thing on my machine it took a mere
5 seconds or so.
Please tell him/her to report such bugs to Debian by running the
"reportbug" program (in the "reportbug" package).
The first thing I'd do is tag such a report "moreinfo" -- unless
there's enough information to reliably reproduce a problem, I can't do
much. The URL for the repo in question would be an obvious first
step. (If the repo can't be made public, there are other things we
can try.)
I installed darcs-2.0.2, compiled locally, and that one takes a mere
8 seconds or so to do this same pull.
A Darcs 2.0.2 package for Debian is in experimental. For
release-related reasons, this might not be uploaded to Sid until Lenny
is released (which is expected in September).
Could your co-worker (or you) grab that .deb and see if it has the
problem?
So something about darcs-2.0.0 or about the way it was built for sid
is making it much slower.
Was the 8 second figure run by the co-worker on his/her machine? If
not, something in .darcs/prefs or a darcs cache could be responsible
for the speed up.
If you want to, you can "apt-get source darcs=2.0.0-5" and try looking
at the code in debian/rules, where the ./configure arguments live.
