If you have such a tree, your workflow _must_ be such that you know
exactly what files you have changed. Asking any tool to go out and
"find which of my 20K files has changed" is doable, but it's just
magic that it works on recent linuxes.

for comparison, one of our sandboxes is sitting on an NTFS file system,
accessed via SMB:

you have the samba stack, network, SMB/CIFS stack and NTFS itself in
the middle. Replace the ethernet with carrier pigeons for a more
complete picture ;-)

Perhaps a local git/cygwin on NTFS  would be more reasonable to benchmark?
