(That's better than 980 with stock Git, though.) Tuning for such an extreme without impacting normal cases is rather hard. My patch was meant to be used on top of yours. Is that what you tested? Also I'd suggest you do not use a max depth of 1000. It is simply insane and might possibly make the existing logic less effective. Even for runtime pack access you want it to be reasonably short, say 100 maximum, or even the current default of 50. Any improvements you might come with (like automatic depth determined on replay cost) should be compared with that default which is known to work well already.
