As you can see from my measurements [1], in my case simple shallow clone (1) runs faster than simple partial clone (2) and produces slightly smaller .git, from which I can infer that (2) downloads some data which is not downloaded in (1). To be clear, use case which I'm interested right now is checking out sources in cloud CI system like GitHub Actions for one shot build. Right now checkout usually takes 1-2 minutes and my hope was that someday in the future it would be possible\ to make it faster.
