We're seeing some insane numbers here. This command takes only 5
seconds to print out all 850 changed-paths:

  $ svn log -v http://phpcommunityorg.googlecode.com/svn -r31

And yet when we run mailer.py on this revision, it takes 68 seconds to
finish, and *60 seconds* of that is just in the replay() routine.
Something is very wrong. We'll have to investigate a bit more. :-)
