In the 'dev' branch of the gitk.git repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/gitk/gitk.git there is now a version of gitk that is much faster at starting up than the standard version. Firstly, it doesn't lay out the whole graph, only the parts that get displayed (plus a little bit either side), and secondly, it caches the topology information that is used to determine which tags a commit precedes and follows, and which branches it is on. I'd like people to try it. Comments, bug reports, patches etc. are welcome, of course.
