AFAIK, what we need for a faster annotate is what we call a "filecache". By 
that we mean a data structure that will let us look up quickly which patches 
affect a given file. Benedikt Schmidt has been working on this for a long 
time. I don't know if this has resulted in some demo-able code yet.


Maybe you should ask him (beschmi at gmail) about the current state of this 
work and if it would be possible to make a GSoC project out of it.

By the way, this my personal number one issue with darcs. At work, I 
frequently curse CVS, but at least I can annotate quickly. The filecache was 
planned for 2.5, but I think at this point that is already becoming a very 
optimistic estimate again.

Bye,
Reinier
