From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.

Assuming the frontend is able to keep up with fast-import and feed it a constant stream of data, import times for projects holding 10+ years of history and containing 100,000+ individual commits are generally completed in just 1-2 -hours on quite modest (~$2,000 USD) hardware. +hours on quite modest hardware (~$2,000 USD in 2007). Most bottlenecks appear to be in foreign source data access (the source just cannot extract revisions fast enough) or disk IO (fast-import base-commit: e813a0200a7121b97fec535f0d0b460b0a33356c -- 2.50.1
