That's way too long for 1030198 objects (roughly 48k objects/sec). And it gets even worse with the gcc repository:

|real    1m51.591s
|user    1m50.757s
|sys     0m0.810s

That's for 1267993 objects, or about 11400 objects/sec.

Clearly something is not scaling here.

What are the different packing options for the two repositories?
A longer deltachain and larger packwindow would increase the
enumeration time, wouldn't it?

For the fun of it, I ran a test without deltas.  Here's my normal
git.git:

  $ du -h .git/objects/pack
  26M     .git/objects/pack
  $ git rev-list --all | wc -l
  17638
  $ git rev-list --all --objects | wc -l
  82194

On a hot cache I get about 61800 objects/sec:

  $ /usr/bin/time git rev-list --all --objects >/dev/null
  1.33user 0.04system 0:01.39elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+8087minor)pagefaults 0swaps

I then made a copy of that and repacked it without deltas (remember to
remove *.keep, I tripped over that twice):

  $ git repack --depth=0 --window=0 -a -f -d
  Counting objects: 82906, done.
  Writing objects: 100% (82906/82906), done.
  Total 82906 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
  $ du -h .git/objects/pack
  339M    .git/objects/pack

Which results in only 28739 objects/sec:


Well, if the objects are, on average, >twice the size, would that
explain it? I'd hate to see some of the sharper git minds hop off
on a wild goose chase if it's not necessary.

How does one go about getting the object sizes? rev-list appears
to have no option for it.
