I'm not touching "cat-file --batch" itself, just the Perl code that uses it. (still trying my best to avoid working on C or any compiled languages); There'll probably be a Perl queue mechanism so there's still only one cat-file process running per-inbox to avoid overloading on seeks; but the Perl daemons should be able to handle network duties and other in-memory operations while it waits for cat-file.
