I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with your proximity to the data. At KRS, it took
git clone, Ben's test repo 21m32s
git lfs clone, Ben's test repo 6m36s
git clone, CMB test-data repo 2m28s
This is git 2.11.0 on macos Sierra. I also installed homebrew git (2.13.3) and got a similar time for "git lfs clone" (6m49s).
We are planning to move ahead with git-lfs but will prune the larger, unused input datasets by not adding them to the repo. If we need large data (examples or benchmarking) a separate repo is an option.
