[PATCH] doc: fast-import: contextualize the hardware cost

[kristofferhaugsbakk]

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

6e411d20440 (Initial draft of fast-import documentation., 2007-02-05)
pointed out how much time a fast-import took on some hardware with a
specific cost.  Let’s further point out that this experiment was done
in 2007.  So modern hardware should have no issues with such a repo.

Also move the parenthetical to the end now that it contains four words.

 Most bottlenecks appear to be in foreign source data access (the

That is a definite improvement.  Thanks.
