Jenkins Git pligin slow checkout

Question

I doing clone outside of Jenkins into some shared folder using LSF workload management platform by IBM

Or let’s say I doing clone manually from command line

Then I want to pull newer changes (commits) and checkout branch using GIT plugin

It works, but takes same time as full clone. Means takes 5-7 minutes instead of 20 seconds

Can you explain this behavior, please ? How I can handle it ?

My local repository created from command line is completely functional. And I want to make checkout in 20 sec

Thank you

Code:

stage('checkout') {
    steps {
     script {
     node('linux4') {
     ws("/comm/data_10/some_folder") {
     
       // Git plugin will not pull submodules with --force option,
       // if there are local changes it fails the CI (JENKINS-27625, JENKINS-55875).
       sh "git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hard || true"
     
       checkout([
         $class: 'GitSCM',
         branches: [[name: "develop"]],
         doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,
         extensions: [[$class: 'CheckoutOption', timeout: 25 ], 
           [$class: 'SubmoduleOption',
               disableSubmodules: false,
               parentCredentials: false,
               recursiveSubmodules: true,
               reference: '',
               trackingSubmodules: true]],
               userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: env.CRED, url: env.REPO]]
       ])
}}}}}
