The sys-perf compile tasks take ~1.5 minutes to check out the mongo repo, while the sys-perf tests themself only need ~30 seconds despite using much smaller machines. The difference probably comes from the fact that we are using shallow clones in sys-perf.

A POC patch that uses shallow clones for the compile drops the time down to ~30 seconds as well. This ticket is to investigate using shallow clones where possible in mongodb-mongo-master.
