Fsck tries to access loose objects in order of inode number,
with the hope that this would make cold cache access faster
on a spinning disk. This dates back to 7e8c174 (fsck-cache:
sort entries by inode number, 2005-05-02), which predates
the invention of packfiles.
These days, there's not much point in trying to optimize
cold cache for a large number of loose objects. You are much
better off to simply pack the objects, which will reduce the
disk footprint _and_ provide better locality of data access.
So while you can certainly construct pathological cases
where this code might help, it is not worth the trouble
anymore.
