     Obtaining a revlog revision consists of roughly the following steps:
 
     1. Compute the delta chain
-    2. Obtain the raw chunks for that delta chain
-    3. Decompress each raw chunk
-    4. Apply binary patches to obtain fulltext
-    5. Verify hash of fulltext
+    2. Slice the delta chain if applicable
+    3. Obtain the raw chunks for that delta chain
+    4. Decompress each raw chunk
+    5. Apply binary patches to obtain fulltext
+    6. Verify hash of fulltext
 
     This command measures the time spent in each of these phases.
