Quoting Brian Harry from a comment response at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bharry/2017/05/24/the-large...

"It depends a great deal on the operation. SourceDepot was much faster at some things – like “sd opened”, the equivalent of “git status”. sd opened was < .5s. git status is at 2.6s now. But SD was much slower at some other things – like branching. Creating a branch in SD would take hours. In Git, it's less than a minute. I saw a mail from one of our engineers at one point saying they'd been putting off doing a big refactoring for 9 months because the branch mechanics in SD would have been so cumbersome and after the switch to Git they were able to get the whole refactoring done in a topic branch in no time.

On an operation, by operation basis, SD is still much faster than our Git/GVFS solution. We're still working on it to close the gap but I'm not sure it will ever get as fast at everything. The broader question, though is about overall developer productivity and we think we are on a path to winning that."
