Hi Nick, It looks like "git gc" was needed on the server. Before git gc on server: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ time git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git Cloning into org-mode... remote: Counting objects: 62414, done. <- Server disk I/O bottleneck remote: Compressing objects: 100% (18532/18532), done. <- Server CPU bottleneck remote: Total 62414 (delta 49455), reused 55032 (delta 43761) Receiving objects: 100% (62414/62414), 55.46 MiB | 1.16 MiB/s, done. <- Network bottleneck Resolving deltas: 100% (49455/49455), done. <- Local CPU bottleneck real2m44.757s user0m11.269s sys0m0.740s --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- After git gc on server: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ time git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git Cloning into org-mode... remote: Counting objects: 62414, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (12836/12836), done. remote: Total 62414 (delta 49457), reused 62414 (delta 49457) Receiving objects: 100% (62414/62414), 55.41 MiB | 1.12 MiB/s, done.
