Interesting. We currently have similar performance issues when pushing 
to a Git repo hosted on Gerrit. The only difference of our repo compared 
to others on the same server that do not have any performance issues is 
the large number of refs (about 40k) in refs/changes.

I still wonder why that would slow down a push as we have not configured 
our clients to fetch / push refs/changes.
