With pleasure.  After optimize --http with the new code to get the
smaller packs tarball:

darcs get http://darcs.net --lazy --no-cache

On my Mac on home cable modem

  darcs-2.4.98.2:    real  105.99   user 1.15   sys 1.48 
  HEAD          :    real   17.37   user 0.94   sys 0.71  

On my Linux machine at University:

  darcs-2.4.98.2     real  134.60   user 0.66   sys 0.40
  HEAD               real   11.78   user 0.95   sys 0.32

Congratulations, Alexey!

PS: I think this is blog worthy... full timings may be good for that
too.
