In the test merge over file:/// I profiled last week I had originally 17
seconds on a. 7 seconds were the absolute path code and 9 are just waiting
in this part of the code. (Which are now reduced to just 1.1 seconds). So
the total merge is now from 17 seconds back to 1.5 or something.

Merge options and the baton are two completely different things. The
merge_options parameter is an array of string parameters passed to the diff3
tool.
* @a merge_options (an array of <tt>const char *</tt>), if non-NULL,
* is used to pass additional command line arguments to the merge
* processes (internal or external). @see
* svn_diff_file_options_parse().
I can't add anything there. The baton is only passed in the lowest layers,
but might be extended there. (But this cleanup is unrelated to this
performance work; there some other candidates for inclusion).
I'm working on getting this sleeping minimized, as we found this quite a
performance killer in some common AnkhSVN working copy actions. (And I think
99% of our users uses NTFS, where sleeping a millisecond would be more than
enough. Apr gives us a microsecond timestamp resolution there).
