Git status takes too long- How to improve the performance of git

Hi All,

We are using git-1.8.2 version for version control. It is an centralized server and git status takes too long

How to improve the performance of git status

Git repo details:

Size of the .git folder is 8.9MB Number of commits approx 53838 (git rev-list HEAD --count) Number of branches - 330 Number of files - 63883 Working tree clone size is 4.3GB

time git status shows real 0m23.673s user 0m9.432s sys 0m3.793s

then after 5 mins real 0m4.864s user 0m1.417s sys 0m4.710s

And I have experimented the following ways 
-          -  Setting core.ignorestat to true
-          -  Git gc &git clean
-          -  Shallow clone – Reducing number of commits
-          -  Clone only one branch 
      - Git repacking - git repack -ad && git prune
-     - Cold/warm cache 

Could you please let me know, what are the ways to improve the git performance ? I have gone through the mailing lists.

Thank you, Renuka
