This is a git repository tracking webkit:

$ time git status
--snip--
real    0m2.321s
user    0m1.460s
sys    0m0.820s

$ time git status Widget.h
--snip--
real    0m0.490s
user    0m0.410s
sys    0m0.050s


Just checked with a smaller git repository (i.e. with ~100files), and things are 
supper fast:

$ time git status 
--snip--
real    0m0.015s
user    0m0.010s
sys    0m0.000s


With emacs -Q: in a repository tracking webkit things are slow.  In a repo 
tracking a small project, things are fast.
