Could the document explain with some details why there are more calls to lookup_object()? For example it could take an example `git cat-file --batch ...` command (if possible a simple one), and say which functions like lookup_object() it was using (and how many times) to get the data it needs before using the ref-filter logic, and then the same information after using the ref-filter logic. It could be nice if there were also some data about how much time used to be spent in lookup_object() and how much time is now spent there, and how this compares with the whole slowdown we are seeing. If Ævar already showed that, you can of course reuse what he already did. The GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE, GIT_TRACE2_PERF env variables and the associated trace_*() and trace2_*() functions might help you with measuring how much time is spent in different functions.
