It _will_ be a bit of an apple-to-oranges comparison, but you could use a few large-ish projects that have a published GIT gateway. Measure time and bw use of

   - cvs co vs git clone
   - cvs status vs git status
   - cvs update vs git pull
   - cvs log (at top level) vs git log
   - cvs log path/to/file vs git log path/to/file

I would suggest

 - Moodle (for which I maintain an http-fetchable repo at
http://git.catalyst.net.nz/git/moodler2.git )
 - PostgreSQL (repo.or.cz hosts a repo)
