I don't think I have really fully mastered 'perf'. In this case for
example, I don't think the default event 'cycles' is the right one
because we are hit hard by I/O as well. I think at least I now have an
excuse to try that famous flamegraph out ;-) but if you have time to
run a quick analysis of this unpack-trees with 'perf', I'd love to
learn a trick or two from you.

I think part of this sprinkling is to highlight the performance
sensitive spots in the code. And it would be helpful to ask a user to
enable GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to have a quick breakdown when something
is reported slow. I don't care that much about other platforms to be
honest, but perf being largely restricted to root does prevent it from
replacing GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE in this case.
