Thanks for spotting it.  I wonder if it was broken like this forever
since the beginning X-<.

Not quite since the beginning; it comes from 8d2dfc49b1
(process_{tree,blob}: show objects without buffering, 2009-04-10). I
suspect nobody noticed because the cost for the normal case is really
just shuffling some pointers around. It's only because it actively works
against the commit-graph optimizations that it's so expensive there.

Yeah, that is what I meant by "since the beginning" (of
commit-graph, that is).

I was surprised (and pleased) by how much such a simple thing helped.

Yes, it is very pleasing.  Thanks.
