gives me a 25% speed improvement, and the same output processing
git.git's entire "git log -p" output.

I thought that meant we could also optimize out the "map" call entirely, and just use the first split (with "*") to end up with a list of $COLOR
chunks and single characters, but it does not seem to work. So maybe I
am misreading something about what is going on.

I think our emails crossed in flight...

Using just the first split (with "*") produces useless empty elements which I think ends up causing problems. I suppose you could surround it with a grep /./ to remove them but that would defeat the point of the optimization.
