:-)

There is a lot of opportunity to improve this (and there is a lot of 
opportunity for me to review patches, there are still some I have to look 
at closely).

Good news: you do not need to do anything, gitk and git gui should now

Yes: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.msysgit/7986

Basically, if you are not running Git from Git Bash, but from cmd.exe, 
every single call to MSys programs (such as sh.exe, perl.exe, sed.exe, 
etc) will take 100ms extra.

When you want to access a USB stick that you plugged in after starting Git 
Bash.
