I only have a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and I'm getting fetch times of ~472 ms over git:// to your -tip.git tree and ~128 ms for strictly local fetch. If your SSH overhead is ~300 ms this is only a ~700 ms real time for `git fetch origin`, not 5100 ms. Is your git-fetch a shell script? Or a compiled binary? The port into C made it go _much_ faster, even though it is still a naive O(N^2) matching algorithm. Yea, we still should fix that, but I think an upgrade to 1.5.4 or later would make the client side improve consideribly. -- Shawn.
