How big is your repository? We're using some fairly big repositories
over here but I haven't seen this behavior with the latest version
of msysgit.

The working copy totals about 4GB. The .git directory, tightly packed,
is 1GB.

We're working with about a 1.5GB repository, and while I haven't seen an specific msysgit slow downs, I did run into build issues due to Windows anti-virus programs (on-access scans, new files scans, etc).  I had to add my development directory to the anti-virus exception list to speed things back up.

That being said, I do most of my development on Mac and Linux, and msysgit is noticeably slower across the board for me...

Thanks,
