Well, they are stored as individual files and I suspect there are good reasons
to do that (likely because that fits best with git's architecture). I don't
think anyone will change that. It's even documented for the user where the tags
are stored (in .git/refs/tags/). Since some operations require reading in all
tags, the performance penalty is inevitable I suppose.
I guess what we really would want is a new ultralightweight tag feature,
implemented as a single-file name -> hash map.
