The time it takes to add a new entry to a directory is O(n). The
repository compresses subsequent versions of file-nodes, but that's
not true for directory-nodes. Every new version of a directory is
written out in full: that is, the entire list of directory entries
is written out every time you add a new child (and create a new
revision).

So, perhaps you shouldn't create 20,000 entries in /tags. Spread
them out, create some sort of tree structure below /tags/.
