It wasn't my intention to 'dispute' anything, only just to point that out. :)

I have TortoiseGIT 1.8.16.0 with git 2.8.2.windows.1... on winxp it's the last
revision I can use (starting with TGit 2.0 winxp support is removed)

But, it's (or, it 'Feels') much faster.

At least compared to TSVN 1.6.5 with SVN 1.6.5 i also have on that machine.
(plus, this needs a special area to hold the 'bare'/repo 'remote' directories, or a server,
which git doesn't need that badly)

As per features, I'm probably not even using 5% of them... but it lets me 
get used to having them, in case I need them later on;

I remember looking at TGit when it was not yet 'on par' with git's own features
(pre-1.0 TGit) and it wasn't as impressive as it is now.

And having just tried that-era (2.8.2.windows.1) git-bash, on my winxp sp3,
 I can't say I'm impressed with its speed... even ls -l is a 1-2s delay...
(that may or may not apply to git itself though, it just discourages me from trying it).
