My data point is this: A "git filter branch" run with ~2000 revisions took several hours on a Windows 7 box. That number seems to be roughly the same as your number. A comparable run on a Linux box took only about 10 minutes. So: If your benchmark was done on Windows you might do that also on Linux.
