The fix for this is simple: set core.warnAmbiguousRefs to false for this
specific call of git pack-objects coming from git send-pack. We don't want
to default it to false for all calls to git pack-objects, as it is valid to
pass ref names instead of object ids. This helps regain these seconds during
a push.
I don't think you actually care about the ambiguity check between refs
here; you just care about avoiding the ref check when we've seen (and
are mostly expecting) a 40-hex sha1. We have a more specific flag for
that: warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity.
And I think it would be OK to enable that all the time for pack-objects,
which is plumbing that does typically expect object names. See prior art
in 25fba78d36 (cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for
batch mode, 2013-07-12) and 4c30d50402 (rev-list: disable object/refname
ambiguity check with --stdin, 2014-03-12).
I'd probably do it here:

Scoping the change into get_object_list does make sense. I was doing it
a level higher, which is not worth it. I'll reproduce your change here.

But I'll leave it to you to wrap that up in a patch, since you probably
should re-check your timings (which it would be interesting to include
in the commit message, if you have reproducible timings).
The timings change a lot depending on the disk cache and the remote
refs, which is unfortunate, but I have measured a three-second improvement.
