Nope. See how the CPU is more or less pegged in the numbers above? Cold
cache looks like this:

  $ echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  $ time git fast-export --all --signed-tags=strip >/dev/null
  real    1m11.148s
  user    1m3.952s
  sys     0m0.760s

So only 7 extra seconds paging in. Hooray for packing. :)
