Hi Nick,

It looks like "git gc" was needed on the server.

Before git gc on server:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
Cloning into org-mode...
remote: Counting objects: 62414, done.                     <- Server disk I/O 
bottleneck
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (18532/18532), done.     <- Server CPU 
bottleneck
remote: Total 62414 (delta 49455), reused 55032 (delta 43761)
Receiving objects: 100% (62414/62414), 55.46 MiB | 1.16 MiB/s, done.  <-

After git gc on server:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
Cloning into org-mode...

I've set up a weekly cron job to run "git gc" on the org-mode repo.
