At Git Merge, Charles suggested that "--buffer" should be the default for "--batch-all-objects". This bit me again yesterday, so I thought I'd actually implement it. :) That's in the second patch. The first one is another micro-optimization that happens to help the use case I was working on (the speedup there is "only" 40%, but the case I was looking at had a pathological number of packs, and so was even slower).
