[darcs-users] Slow Push and Pull with Remote Repository

[Thomas David Baker]

Hi all,

You will be glad to hear that:

$ darcs optimize --reorder-patches

took about 3 hours but has done the business.  A pull that took 3
minutes now takes 3 seconds.

Thanks so much for all your help, especially to Juliusz who offered
that specific suggestion.
