OK, this seems like a KHQ/KRS difference, nothing inherent. It cloned
here in seconds (separate clone/fetch steps for the LFS data took ~30
seconds).

Versions I'm using:

    git 2.9.4
    git-lfs 1.5.5

Starting with 2.11.0, git can run filters through a single process
(rather than a new process per filtered path).

Note that there is also `git lfs clone` which defers content download
until after the non-LFS data is downloaded. What's the performance of
that? How about a clone without LFS at all and then followed by:

    git lfs fetch
    git lfs checkout

?
