Even more time is spent unpacking the HEAD tree, even with hot cache (repacking with depth 10 reduces this to ~250ms, on SSD its just 7ms). Perhaps caching the HEAD tree in an index extension could help here?
This is approximately what the cache-tree extension does. However, it's a bit broken. I've been working on a fix, but slowly because my other work has taken me longer than expected. You can see the effect of the cache-tree extension by doing git reset --hard HEAD; this temporarily restores that extension.
