	I'm coming into this thread a little late, but that is exactly the
problem that bzr-history-db was supposed to handle, right? I don't think
launchpad is running the bzr-history-db code for loggerhead yet.

	As a user, I almost always like the fact that annotations are shown by
default. I'd like to think that bzr-history-db would make things fast
enough that we wouldn't have to resort to any additional complexity, but
if we did, then yeah, AJAX would work. I think first we should probably
first make sure that loggerhead annotate is as fast as it can possibly
be with bzr-history-db, and then if there is still a problem,
investigate what can be done there.

	There is one:

	http://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/trunk/annotate/head:/admin.cgi

	But it could be simpler.
