It's available from my git tree on kernel.org http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/warthog9/gitweb.git;a=summary
or
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/warthog9/gitweb.git
Mind you my performance on the non-cache state is not going to be any better than normal gitweb, however the performance on a cache-hit is orders of magnitude faster - though at a rather expensive cost - disk space. There is currently something like 20G of disk being used on one of kernel.org's machines providing the cache (this does get flushed on occasion - I think) but that is providing caching for everything that kernel.org has in it's git trees (or 255188 unique urls currently). My code base is now, horribly, out of date with respect to mainline but it works and it's been solid and reasonably reliable (though I do know of two bugs in it right now I need to track down - one with respect to a failure of the script - and one that is an array out of bounds error)
