We’re aware of what the architectural problem with Commit-Queue is that slows down the fast path, Unsafe-Merge-Queue has fixed that. The solution we used isn’t transferable to Commit-Queue.

I personally don’t think that delaying a critical build fix / gardening by 10 minutes is OK. It’s called “unsafe-merge-queue”, why does it take this long to commit? Why isn't it as fast as "generate a unique identifier and git push”?
Sure, I have no idea how the unsafe-merge-queue does but it is hard for me to imagine it should take more than 1 minute given what it needs to do and given that it should need to do extremely little testing given that it is “unsafe”.

4 to 10 minutes is nowhere near as fast as `git svn dcommit` and is therefore a pretty large regression.
