From IRC:

<Bert> markphip: Know issue that regression 1.6 vs 1.5: Most of that
is tree conflict processing

Bert, I think it might be a bit dismissive to say this was a known
issue. If you were to say it was known that these commands are slower
in 1.6 I would probably agree with you, but I think these tests show a
real problem. If you look at the results for a WC that is like our
trunk, the performance difference is almost not measurable. If you
look at a WC with a ton of folders, the performance difference is
minor. In this one test with tons of files in a single folder the
increase is dramatic. I doubt that was known and I am just saying it
might point us to something in our algorithms that needs to be looked
at. That was the point of these tests.
