That does seem to be the case in my experience too. I suggest setting
up the “smart” HTTP transport git-http-backend in parallel with
cgit, which also greatly improves pull/clone speed. You can see how
I set it up in the last section of
<https://text.causal.agency/007-cgit-setup.txt>, “Update: fast HTTPS
clones”.
