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.

Indeed:
