Actually, I think it's the reverse: without --stdin, name-rev can do a first pass that lets it eliminate a lot of data from consideration; with --stdin, it doesn't know if an item it hasn't seen is going to need some data, and so it's conservative and doesn't eliminate anything,
Are you sure that's the case? time git-name-rev --stdin < /dev/null gives the same high startup time without looking up anything.
Anyways, it would be great if someone could try to fix that, since a 6-second startup time on a repository like linux-2.6 makes the --stdin option unusable for applications like gitweb (for which it would actually be quite useful to reduce the number of forks).
