From my experience a custom GitLab instance is much faster that GitHub.com. But it is apples and oranges and I suppose your friends weren't comparing the two.

My custom GitLab instance is still slower than github.com. (Yes, I’m giving it enough memory.)

If you are a customer you can file a support ticket and our Support Engineers can help troubleshoot. One of our mandates is "performance is a feature" and we want to better understand what's happening in the wild.

If not, and you are interested, we built a tool we use called "fast-stats": https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/fast-stats

it might be able to pinpoint what controllers are slow for your own curiosity.

I'm a community user, and the sluggishness seems to be a common sentiment so I'm not sure profiling my instance will add anything valuable that's not already known.

(Sorry if my comments sounded entitled.)

It’s slower than github.com, but I wouldn’t call it slow.

What’s slow is out bitbucket datacenter edition.
