Don't read anything into the 10x speed diff, my last git clone was really slow. I'm probably fighting other people at kernel.org to keep the tree in RAM.
But pack to the original point, can't the server check and see if it has write access so that it can keep the fully packed tree? I've just caused kernel.org to needlessly repack the wireless-dev tree a dozen times playing with this clone command. If it didn't have to keep repacking for the clone, clone would be a lot faster.
