[darcs-devel] too eager patch reading?

I've started to use darcs on a repo (converted from cvs) with many,
large, binary files. Which means that some of the patches are about
10-30MB in size, compressed. darcs is not too happy about that..
The real problem I have at the moment is that pulling (or pushing), to a
mostly empty repo with no conflicts, takes a lot of time, hours.
However, while looking into that, I noticed that
get_common_and_uncommon, which should be an easy operation in this case
(only one patch in common, the first one in the source repo, the only
one in the target repo), takes a lot of time trying to parse the
patches. Which is rather slow in this repo.
What I think I'm really trying to ask, is what does the get_extra
function in Depend.lhs do and why?
Would it be possible to make it less interested in my expensive patch
content?
