Ok. I see your problem now. Did you know you can restrict blame to a subrange of the revisions? That will give you at least a way to limit the 4 hours. Comparing with CVS is logical, but CVS has these values precomputed: ready for you to use. So, obviously, it'll be faster than any scheme which needs to do calculations to find the same information.
