cherry-picking a single-file commit takes about 14-15 seconds, fully
using one CPU core. Anything else I can improve?

It's probably detecting renames as part of the merge, which can be
expensive if the thing you are cherry-picking is far away from HEAD. You
can try setting the merge.renamelimit config variable to something small
(like 1; setting it to 0 means "no limit").
