Make that time(1)d.
Results for the kernel follow. Disc cache has been preheated with find.
git version: 5b2bcc7b2d546c636f79490655b3347acc91d17f
Filesystem: ext3 data=writeback
Kernel: 2.6.16-rc1-astorm2 (mostly -ck patchset with "hotfix")
Elevator: CFQ

time git clone linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git.new Packing 180025 objects

real 8m31.637s user 3m19.571s sys 0m42.211s

Extremely bad. The task is mostly cpu-bound. Made some background applications swap out late in the process. (that's the cause of the sys time)

time git clone -l linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git.local 0 blocks

real 0m42.339s user 0m2.818s sys 0m4.040s

Good enough for me. Possibly cp -rl of objects and then a checkout.
time cp -rl linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git.rl

real 0m18.333s user 0m0.103s sys 0m1.732s

Really fast, but requires additional file modification. (namely .git/remotes/origin, removal of gitrc) Also incompatible with apps having problems with hardlinks.
