It might be that the cloud provider of oVirt's gerrit is throttling
connections from the office, but the data size is ratio is huge:
mini at ykaul-mini:/tmp/github$ time git clone -b master --depth 1
https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm.git
Cloning into 'vdsm'...
remote: Counting objects: 924, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (849/849), done.
remote: Total 924 (delta 181), reused 308 (delta 50), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (924/924), *1.37 MiB* | 2.39 MiB/s, done.

mini at ykaul-mini:/tmp/github$ time git clone -b master

So while I got much nicer speeds now on the non-shallow, I assume the
shallow should beat it always.
In any case, perhaps I should clone from Github...
