There is an inconsistency here between darcs changes -v and darcs 
annotate.  For file differences darcs changes -v is faster than darcs 
annotate (for substantially different information as it is missing the 
line by line breakdown), but for patch differences darcs annotate 
--match "hash ..." is (much) faster than darcs changes -v --match "hash 
..." (for substantially similar information with the differences being 
colorization and change log notation versus darcs patch notation).

So obviously there appears, from a user perspective, performance 
enhancements in _both_ commands that aren't applied to the other.
