They are dense enough that slurping them in whole is 20% faster, at
least here. And much less noisy! These are both cache-cold tests.
$ time git read-tree -m -u HEAD HEAD
real 0m9.255s
user 0m0.832s
sys 0m0.196s
$ time (cat .git/objects/pack/* .git/index >/dev/null; git read-tree -m -u HEAD HEAD)
real 0m7.141s
user 0m0.936s
sys 0m1.912s
Now, I don't know how useful this is since git doesn't know if the
data are cached. Is it perhaps possible to give a hint to the
readahead logic that it should try to read as far as possible?
