Very slow git clone on starter cluster 2a

[rhopp]

git clone operation is really slow in che on starter cluster 2a.

For all my tries I used this repo: https://github.com/openshiftio-vertx-boosters/vertx-http-booster
And this command: time git clone https://github.com/openshiftio-vertx-boosters/vertx-http-booster

We started investigating this, because our tests were timeout-ing on workspace startup on this.

First observation:

I've started workspace (without default project import). Waited for the workspace to be started and then I've run time git clone https://github.com/openshiftio-vertx-boosters/vertx-http-booster in terminal inside che.
Result times:

• 4m9.997s
• 5m47.361s
• 4m6.350s

Note: I've tried this with two different accounts (both on 2a cluster)

Second observation:

Deployed this pod in -che namespace of my account on 2a cluster. I've connected to terminal of that pod and run the same command (time git clone ...). pwd was /data/something to be sure the PVC is used.
Result times:

• 0m9.765s
• 0m14.541s
• 0m12.631s
• 0m20.884s

From this it seems, that involvement of che directly affects git clone performance.

Third observation:

Running git clone on my local machine (just for comparison)
Results:

• 2.640s
• 1.234s
• 1.237s

Fourth observation:

Running git clone from in terminal inside workspace on different cluster (I've used two accounts on cluster 2)
Results:

• 0m23.643s
• 0m38.622s

From this it seems it's not that big issue on other clusters (or at least on cluster 2)

I know we have openshiftio/openshift.io#4695, but this seems to me like a slightly different issue.

For clarity @rhopp, we're seeing slower git clones from a che workspace than the base PVC operation should take?

there is maintenance going on starter-us-east-2a, let's wait and retry once the upgrade is finished

closing as not reproducible, tested against 2a:
