Can you elaborate on the test setup required to get to the point where
you got these numbers for subsequent comparison, i.e. how you generated
the approx 100 objects per dir, what OS/version & storage type etc.

I happened to have that many loose objects lying around.  Numbers are
for Debian Testing on a Hyper-V VM on Windows 10 1893 on an SSD.

You could fake object directory entries with something like this:

    for d in .git/objects/??
    do
        for i in $(seq 0 9)
        do
            >"$d/0000000000000000000000000000000000000$i"
        done
    done
