This is mostly where the problem lies, unfortunately. Resolving deltas does require quite a bit of CPU power and a 4-core ARM system is just not that powerful.

Indeed, copying over a pre-checked out repository from a trusted place is your best course of action. I've considered providing something like this directly from kernel.org, but this is fundamentally different from git cloning and requires a whole different level of trust that I'm not comfortable with.
