Ok so what do you mean by "really slow" ?
Can we get a idea of the time it take for you, so we can measure improvement ?

(as I was under the impression that gerrit was doing a git gc by itself) 
Also, to be sure, that's for the main git repo on gerrit, yes ?

Comment 2 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2017-09-13 11:58:56 UTC
git.gluster.org. Is that the same as gerrit?

fedora 26 vm running on my desktop:
%time git clone ssh://kalebskeithley.org/glusterfs.git dummy
Cloning into 'dummy'...
Enter passphrase for key '/home/kkeithle/.ssh/fedora_id_rsa': 
remote: Counting objects: 7908, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (1610/1610)
remote: Total 150039 (delta 641), reused 149842 (delta 641)
Receiving objects: 100% (150039/150039), 69.55 MiB | 114.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (95302/95302), done.
23.877u 2.510s 11:20.47 3.8%	0+0k 104+208696io 0pf+0w

majority of the time is spent in Receiving objects.

But on a fedora 25 vm also running on the same desktop Receiving objects is nearly instantaneous.

There's an automatic GC run every Sunday. A git clone takes about 30 seconds on my machine limited only by network speed.

git.gluster.org is a CNAME to review.gluster.org. On ssh, it should do the same thing. On HTTP(S), it points to cgit.
