I'm cloning the gcc repo. My clone has been sitting in git-index-pack
for about 10 minutes and it is only using one core. Is this something
could be multi-threaded?

I've done the same and had the same thought, although it seemed shorter 
than 10 minutes to me.

Yes, most of it can be made multi-thread as well.
