doc: fast-import: contextualize the hardware cost 

6e411d2044 (Initial draft of fast-import documentation., 2007-02-05)
pointed out how much time a fast-import took on some hardware with a

in 2007.  So modern hardware should have no issues with such a repo.

Also move the parenthetical to the end now that it contains four words.

Most bottlenecks appear to be in foreign source data access (the
