what gives you reasonable performance for a version control system with a few updates per minute is nowhere close to being reasonable for something that measures it's transaction rate in thousands per second.
besides, git tends to keep the most recent version of a file uncompressed, it's only when the files are combined into packs that things need to be reconstructed, and even there git only lets the chains get so long.

git/svn/... use store intermediate versions of the source code, so that applying all patches becomes O(log N) instead of O(N). But that's just an optimization.
NoSQL systems work in a similar way - they can store the 'tip' of the data, so that they don't have to reapply all the patches all the time. However, the latest data view can be rebuilt if required.

Actually, even the most recent stuff is compressed. It just might not be deltified in terms of other blobs (which is what you meant, I know).

yes, everything stored in git is compressed, but it only gets deltafied when it gets packed.
and it's frequently faster to read a compressed file and uncompress it than it is to read the uncompressed equivalent (especially for highly compressible text like code or logs), I've done benchmarks on this within the last year or so
