The real improvement is on the client side; how long does it take
to do a clone or a fetch with dumb HTTP vs. with smart HTTP.  The
latency is horrible for dumb HTTP if the repository is not packed,
or bad if it just repacked and you have to download everything again.

Knowing the transfer time of each request start-to-finish and the
total time for a "session" (e.g. a period of where that IP appears
actively requesting in the logs) would tell you how long a given
client needs to do a fetch or clone.
