Can you give me details about your system? Is this a 64 bit binary?
What is your core.packedGitWindowSize and core.packedGitLimit set to?
It sounds like the packed version was almost 3 GiB smaller, but
was slower because we were mmap'ing far too much data at startup
and that was making your OS page in things that you didn't really
need to have.
Mind trying git-log with a smaller core.packedGitWindow{Size,Limit}?
Perhaps its just as simple as our defaults are far far too high for
your workload...
