Thanks, I do have maintenance activated (I believe `scalar` handled that for me) and that does noticeable speed up some operations, and I have find the performance in general for almost all operations to be much better than I expected (having not worked in such a large repo before). My only real issue is in fetching, since I really don't want to waste the time pulling down all the other branches in the repo that I almost certainly will never need locally.
