Hrm, if your directories are mutable, then neither of those should run
any faster than 1.7.1 . The mutable-file code hasn't changed, and the
immutable check/repair code hasn't changed.

OTOH, if your directories are immutable, then the reduced per-file
latency will make recursive operations (deep-check and manifest, but not
single-file check) a lot faster, since the recursion requires
downloading each directory.

But hey, I'm happy with anything other than regressions :)

cheers,
