kernel.org is not in quite the best shape currently due to the machines'
massive overload, so this may take a little while to get fixed.

We're aware of the problem, and it's almost certainly related either to 
the high loads we've had recently or to the necessary load-mitigation 
issues.  Realistically, it probably won't be fixed until we have a 
dedicated git server in place, which is in process; it will probably be 
installed some time in February.

Do note that www2.kernel.org has a load that is usually 1/20th of 
www1.kernel.org; apparently due to Microsoft DNS braindamage (which 
affects anyone whose ISP uses MS-DNS.)  Using www2.kernel.org explicitly 
is likely to give you better performance.  HOWEVER, performance is going 
to suck due to the measures we've had to take on the servers regardless, 
and it's entirely likely git-rss is totally broken.  Again, we should 
have a dedicated git server in operation in about a month.

It's rather sad to see kernel.org ppl resort to ms tactics to fix sw problems 
by throwing more hardware into the mess.

My hunch, it's a scheduler problem.  Try spa_no-frills with xfs.


Thanks!
