See my separate timing numbers, although I bet that Chris can give even better ones.. Chris, try applying my patch, and then inside the KDE repo you have, do git index-pack --paranoid --stdin --fix-thin new.pack < ~/git/.git/objects/pack/pack-*.pack (ie index the objects of the *git* repository, not the KDE one). That should approximate doing a fair-sized "git pull" - getting new objects. Do it with and without --paranoid, and time it. I bet that what I see as a 7% slowdown will be much bigger for you, just because the negative lookups will be all that much more expensive when you have tons of objects.
