Probably because the difference is too small to notice on smaller-size
projects, or because people tend to do whole-tree operations so "git
<command> <dir>"'s performance does not catch the developers' eyes.

Anyway, stat()ing 80k files takes about 1 second on my machine, still
tolerable. There is whole-tree open() in "git status" to check for
untracked files, that contributes more on "git status" slowness. How
long on average did a Git operation take on your tmpfs?
