The `transfer.unpackLimit` will not have any impact; it's in use at at
least some major forges.  Packed objects can use things like bitmaps and
other functionality, which forges like for performance.

The gc settings you have will cause everything to repacked after every
push, and repacking data can be quite expensive.  At work, we repack
after about every 40 pushes or so.  You may wish to use a different
value.
