I can run 12 iterations on an 8-node m1.large cluster on EC2 on a
repository with 600k commits that is about 2GB in size.  That is with
standard EBS volumes - not the IO-optimized ones.  After a while I'd
think the entire git repository would be cached since this is
read-only access, so that shouldn't matter too much.  The first 2-3
iterations take most of the time.
