git-fast-import works great. I parsed and built my pack file in
1:45hr. That's way better than 24hr. I am still IO bound but that
seems to be an issue with not being able to read ahead 150K small
files. CPU utilization averages about 50%.

I didn't bother reading the sha ids back from fast-import, instead I
computed them in the python code. Python has a C library function for
sha1. That decouple the processes from each other. They would run in
parallel on SMP.

My pack file is 980MB compared to 680MB from other attempts. I am
still missing entries for the trees and commits.
