Btw, you should possibly look at cold-cache numbers, and numbers for
projects that aren't fully packed. They can often be _dramatically_
different.
That said, the dramatic change would probably be if there were some way to
avoid using "--full-history" (rather than "--parents", which doesn't add
_that_ much overhead), since that "follow all parents" behaviour of
full-history is usually what really makes a big deal.
But I guess for gitweb, you do want to use --full-history in this case ;(
