The real improvement is on the client side; how long does it take to do a clone or a fetch with dumb HTTP vs. with smart HTTP. The latency is horrible for dumb HTTP if the repository is not packed, or bad if it just repacked and you have to download everything again.

Knowing the transfer time of each request start-to-finish and the total time for a "session" (e.g. a period of where that IP appears actively requesting in the logs) would tell you how long a given client needs to do a fetch or clone.
