Yes, this has already been fixed in ad14b450 (do not search
functions for patch ID), which is currently in git.git's pu branch.
Function name search performance has also been improved for some
obscure cases in c099789b (diff: avoid repeated scanning while
looking for funcname).

Thanks anyways. If you notice anything else, please let us know.

I had a look at your gprof results, but I cannot make much sense of
it. I do not understand why git rev-list would even do any diffs.
For me, rev-list spends more than 50% in libz.  Can you give more
details on the kind of repository you have (binaries, memory size,
history size, any special attributes or options?), which git
version you are using, and which options you are passing to
rev-list?
