Hm, yeah, I considered that too, but our local SWIG expert here says
that it's not *that* costly. Even crossing that swig boundary 1000
times shouldn't be more than a couple of lost seconds.

I guess another possibility is that the "extra" work replay() is doing
on each changed path is somehow horrendously slow on our fs_bigtable
implementation. I could test that, I suppose, by doing an svnsync of
this revision from the googlecode repository to a local FSFS
repository (the local write/commit time would be pretty tiny.)
