I gave up because it's just too slow (more than 15 min to get to 3%).

Maybe plotting is indeed faster, but I don't think I'll actually get to that point.

Did you try a manual git clone to rule out any network or FS issues?

A manual git clone is very slow for the Julia registry, but it's still an order of magnitude faster...

Is your home folder on a network drive?

Nope.
