Found another possible bottleneck: git-commit seems to scan through
a lot of files. Shouldnt it just create a commit object from the
current index and update the head ?

You mean a lot of stat()? There is no way to avoid that unless you set
assume-unchanged bits. Or you could use
write-tree/commit-tree/update-ref directly.

Avoiding memory exhaustion is also going to help a lot as the stat() 
information will remain cached instead of requiring disk access.  Just a 
guess given $subject.
