Sure, for small changes. And emacs.

Not very slow, if the tree is already in cache. You need only ca. 1 GB
of RAM for this. I never use ".", I use "*" instead as it ignores .git
directory:

$ time find * -iname \*pattern\*
real    0m0.051s

$ time grep "The pattern" * -r
(results)
real    0m0.330s

(grep -i is much slower).

Other tools? Git, gitk and WWW browser :-)
