Subject: Skipping multiple revisions in one shot
Skipping each revision in a *large* list of revisions, by doing svn-bisect skip 990 svn-bisect skip 991 svn-bisect skip 992 ... can be very slow. It would be nice to be able to give the command a list of revisions, not just one. That way, it would only have to select a revision after adding the last revision to be skipped to the skip list, which would be faster than the current behaviour of selecting a revision after every revision to be skipped. This may be already possible, but it doesn't look like it from the documentation. So if it is already possible, the documentation should be clarified.

Interesting idea. I have added support for taking multiple revisions on the command line (and updated the documentation) in release 0.9. Thanks!
