The poll loop ran 'go cli.Ls(ctx, tip)' on EVERY tick as a bare goroutine whose result was discarded. On a store where that call takes seconds the next tick started another before the last finished, and across a fleet they compounded.

Measured: 134 concurrent 'zit ls --long', all against the SAME hash, under one server, load average 546 on a 14-core machine.

The listing is immutable per version, so it needs computing once per version. Now it skips when the tip has not moved and when a warm is already in flight. check-in: a3475428ac user: dmestas tags: trunk
