Did you try rosters? They're an internal representation of manifests
(with some differences, they contain some data specific to the local
repository, which you might not care about), and they're also stored in
delta format, like manifests. Maybe access is still faster (because they
don't need as much validation, as far as I know)

For git, you want to know how the tree looked at specific times
(snapshots), but the native data exchange format in monotone is
changesets (what you get with get_revision - it tells you what changed
from rev A to rev B, and in merge scenarios, to each side "the whole
other side" happened, to get to the merged result).
