I can only tell what I've experienced. I regularly read the release notes, especially the sections on performance. And with each upgrade I'm hoping so much that we get back to loading times below 1 second (like it was with early GitLab releases).

Unfortunately this is almost never the case: Sometimes the pages load even slower. In the best case there's not much difference. Same goes for memory consumption.

But I understand now that this will always be a problem with rails.

Do you have any examples on what kind of pages are loading slow? Are these issue detail pages, MR diff pages, etc? It's possible you're running into cases we're not experiencing (enough) on GitLab.com, or maybe we did but we haven't really looked into them yet.
