what does the performance look like if you just do a static compile instead?

I don't even know - I don't have a static version of curl. I could install
one, of course, but since I don't think that's the solution anyway, I'm
not going to bother.

I wasn't thinking a static version of curl, I was thinking a static 
version of the git binaries. see how fast things could be if no startup 
linking was nessasary.

The real solution really is to not have curl support in the main binary.

One option might be to make _all_ the transport code be outside of the
core binary, or course.  That's a fairly simple but somewhat sad solution
(ie make all of push/pull/fetch/clone/ls-remote/etc be external binaries)
