Windows 8, msysGit.
git repack -adf on msysgit/git (best of 3 runs)
+ nedalloc: 10.5s
- nedalloc: 11s
git repack -adf on torvalds/linux (best of 3 runs)
+ nedalloc: 3m 24s
- nedalloc: 3m 47s

We need to make a decision: drop nedalloc, update nedalloc to later release, patch nedalloc to make it work under MinGW-W64 or disable nedalloc under MinGW-W64 (still leaving it enabled under MinGW).

P.S. Waiting for "Resolving deltas" when cloning torvalds/linux is a pain, perhaps someone should run gprof on it.
