+Until this is ready, at the moment, I got around the slowness [by setting](https://github.com/neuropoly/intranet.neuro.polymtl.ca/blob/d5c320c/geek-tips/git-annex.md#new-repo)
+
+```
+cat > .gitattributes <<EOF
+*.mkv filter=anex annex.largefiles=anything
+*.mp3 filter=anex annex.largefiles=anything
+EOF
+```
+
+This way the file size is ignored and instead git makes the decision for me based on file extension. This is much faster than running every file through `git annex smudge`. I'
+
+I might end up sticking with this even if you use the faster filter API.
