I ran some tests and found that the download speed is proportional to
the size of the repo:

If you clone via git://, it does some optimizations during the transfer,
whereas cloning via http:// does not.  If I do a "git gc" on the repo,
it reduces the size of the repo on the server and the time to download
via http://

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cp -r /home/orgmode/org-mode.git/ /var/www/orgmode.org/org-mode-copy.git
$ cd /var/www/orgmode.org/org-mode-copy.git
$ du -sh
221M    .
$ git gc
$ du -sh
65M     .

$ time /usr/bin/git clone http://orgmode.org/org-mode-copy.git
Cloning into org-mode-copy...

real    5m6.472s
user    0m18.797s
sys     0m2.300s

$ du -sh org-mode-copy
63M     org-mode-copy
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'd recommend using the repo.or.cz repo for http:// downloads.
repo.or.cz probably runs git-http-backend or does a "git gc"
occasionally.

Any user feedback for "git clone" would be up to the git client.  It
used to say "got... walk..." prior to 1.7.  Not sure why they removed
those messages in 1.7.

Regards,
Jason
