Agreed.

I love GitLab and it’s UI, but recently the performance of the hosted version is awful (not sure why - just being overloaded?).

In fact, even their own status page reflects it: https://status.gitlab.com/ - the current “project HTTP response time” is around one second which makes me cry when using the UI.

I wish them the best but would be moving to a competitor (or maybe a self-hosted GitLab) in the meantime until they sort it out.

Noticed this too recently, makes me more wary to import my projects there. Just browsing a repo is painfully slow. Although I've noticed the same on github for large source files or large repos.
A viable workaround is to browse the repo on your local checkout. It is decentralized git after all.
Ironically, the status page itself takes 5-6 seconds to load!
