OK this is a really nice test repo. I have only 1 GB of ram, and although basic operations appear to work just fine, this data set shows its weight in some ways.

For example I think there might be ways to improve the pack mmap windowing, or git-fsck's IO patterns. For example, git-fsck --full spend 96% of the time waiting for IO completion and only 4% actually performing some work according to top. At that rate that makes fsck --full rather unusable on this repo. Without --full then fsck completes in less than 2 seconds.
