I don't understand what you mean here.  Small projects are exactly those where all VCSes can
perform all operations instantaneously; git's optimizations are all about scaling up?

I don't know what the OP meant to say, but to me the modern DVCS systems 
seem much more practical for keeping small, simple projects in than, say, 
CVS or SVN.  They keep all the repository state in a single directory, 
within your working tree; there's no separate repository.  In this 
respect it's rather like using RCS (except better!), which always used to 
be my solution to revision controlling single files / small groups of 
files.
