One more thought on all of this - we're currently doing some research on problems users face in the merge request. Feel free to take our survey: https://gitlab.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9HQQil77CjHJIC...

Docker runner performance is horrible. By using ssh runner which runs exactly the same docker command I save 7 seconds each time.

Thid leeds to many hacks to get performance needed (jobs are merged in one big one for example). With many smaller jobs some pipelines run sometimes up to 50% slower than ssh + docker.

Also built-in caching is painfully slow. Our self hosted minio instance as custom cache is 10 times faster than Gitlab's local cache and this is absurd.

These are 2 main speed issues with me. As code reviewer large diff bad performance would be the 3rd issue. It lags even with my beefy workstation. Maybe adding JS functionality is needed for files in current viewport? I don't need syntax highlight and comments options on all 100 files at the same time but I want an option to scroll down and this functionality on currently viewed files

Hi - can you create an issue in the gitlab-runner project? It would be great so that we can investigate further.

REBASE IS HORRIBLE! That's a good first step to fix.

(And yes I filled out the survey).
