alt Hacker News>Speed. The GitLab web interface has always felt sluggish to me.
10 years later the same problem remains. While Gitea / Forgejo have very little performance problems. And will only get better once Go 1.26 is out. Which is a much bigger release than a single digit version number upgrade.

I used GitLab only as a remote repo for private projects, no CI at all. The laggy interface and that damn browser check every so often made me close my account.

Just like a truck will always be more sluggish than a small car. They are very different beasts where one is aimed at enterprises and the other one for small projects without all the corporate needs.

I just wish they had sub/project folders like in gitlab. I would switch in a heartbeat.
It must be a fundamental architectural problem with Gitlab. When I had to use it for work the speed killed me. Especially searching for issues. I will never consider gitlab for anything until they find a way to boost performance.
