Yeah, it just didn't strike me at that moment that I was using a lightweight
checkout, and just assumed that there was a performance problem :) I'm glad
to hear that some better visual feedback is planned for network-bound
operations, so I'm leaving this bug open for that.

I somehow still wonder why it "lags" or moves not smoothly. I mean, is it
because it's getting the commit revision numbers + summaries + generating
the graph, all at once? Or is the latency just caused by the graphs?
If that's the case,
- perhaps the graph could be made asynchroneous to the rest so that
scrolling can still occur, while a progressbar says something like
"generating graph";
- or maybe the graph could be disabled for network-bound operations?

Those are just random thoughts/guesses, I have no idea how the code actually
works :)
