For the simple tests you did the difference is not that big. It becomes a real problem when there are many file deletions/additions in the upstream tree since git-read-tree doesn't handle them and git-merge-index would need to call the external tool for each of them.

To test the above, clone the 2.6.12 kernel version, create some trivial patches and rebase to 2.6.16-rc3. StGIT was running even for 5 minutes per patch before implementing the diff-tree/apply method.
