This is probably causing gitk to eat my (admittedly old) CPU, sometimes.

For example, a

	gitk --all v1.5.2..v1.5.3

gives me problems when I scroll down to about half of the shown history:
that is when I reach the sequence of hundreds of "merge topic branch
into next" commits, and gitk tries hard to display the graph as best
as it can.

It can become unresponsive for one second at every PgDown.

Otherwise, gitk is way faster in other (non-pathological)
circumstances.
