Thank you! In the meantime, I happened to produce something similar. Unfortunately even mine was too late for another round of tests to present it in our git vs. svn comparison (with todays deadline) - so we just mentioned in the report that the tested repository still had reserves [but the numbers were quite nice even with the 2.5G one ;-)].

The 'minimal3' case was with '--window=250 --depth=250', 'minimal4' was with '--window=250 --depth=50'

I tried the --depth=50 because I read 'making it too deep affects the performance on the unpacker side' in the man page. How big the difference could be in practice, please?

Regards, Jan
