While unpacking trees (e.g. during git checkout), when we hit a cache entry that's past and outside our path, we cut off iteration. This provides about a 45% speedup on git checkout between master and master^20000 on Twitter's monorepo. Speedup in general will depend on repostitory structure, number of changes, and packfile packing decisions.
