(dropping some of the other aliases from this reply) I ran a few of the performance tests against the Linux repository using v2.22.0, v2.23.0, and the new v2.24.0-rc0. I thought it worth pointing out that the drastic performance improvements are due to turning on the commit-graph by default. I had computed a commit-graph for my Linux repo, but used my global config to enable core.commitGraph. The global config is ignored by perf tests, so v2.22.0 and v2.23.0 were operating without looking at the commit-graph. (These were run on my old dev machine, which is now running Ubuntu on bare metal. No VM this time!)
