Probably very, very quickly. git-format-patch is very fast; all it has to do is diff the files involved in each commit, which is already heavily optimized. No syntax highlighting (your email program can do that if you want it), or line numbering (ditto).

61.65 seconds to create all 2,298 emails on my computer, with the repository on spinning rust. That’s about one fortieth of a second each on average.

Don't discount the heaviness of rendering the HTML on the client, too!
