I started rolling a tool to measure various aspects of git performance. 
I will start looking at merge next, and at workloads different from the 
kernel (gcc4 anyone?) ...

The only data points worth sharing a this point are:

That doing the compression at a level of 3, rather than the max of 9, 
cuts the cpu time required for a big git commit by over half, and that 
that actually translates into a win on the I/O to disk. (these tests 
were performed on a dual opteron 842)

The benefits of compression aren't very much for git right now.

And: A big git commit is I/O bound. But we knew that. Maybe it's 
possible to make it less I/O bound.

There's some variety in the best/worst case timings for I/O for the 
compressor=3 case...
