> Maybe it's just me, but "fast" isn't something that comes to my mind when I think of Perforce. Agreed. I use git-p4 for interacting with p4 servers here at work. I love that I can create my commits and make them as granular as I want without having to interact with the server until I'm ready to submit my commits. Using git-p4 means I don't have to 'p4 edit' my files before I edit them (which really sucks when the p4 server isn't available for any reason), I can simply put off any version control workflows until I'm done with my changes (and slice and dice the changes the way I want with interactive rebase). Thinking of all the little interactions I do with git which a) aren't possible with p4 or if they were b) would involve talking to the server every step of the way makes me cringe. But then out of necessity, p4 developers probably aren't creating such fine-grained commits like I like to do (and indeed isn't even possible without a lot of fore-planning with p4), so they wouldn't notice the speed impact.
