The only drawback is local cloning. This operation is like 4x slower

Have you tried the "-l" option for cloneing locally?  It's _very_ fast,
even for my tiny little old laptop.

If you add a "-n" that will not checkout the source tree, so you can
compare the time of cloning with the checkout portion.
