Gitui's README mentions that Lazygit freezes and sometimes crashes parsing large repos, taking the example of the linux repo, and reports that Gitui is more than twice as fast: https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui#3--benchmarks-top-

At least for the stability issues, does this match your experience?

I see others have mentioned tig here as well, I'd be curious to hear if they also find it somewhat slow and unstable. Gitui's linux benchmark lists it as being almost 11 times faster than tig.

I use tig intensively and it does sometimes have little freezes etc but only on giant repos AND where the file system is slow / busy. Its a 2nd or 3rd order type problem to me. If you work all the time on that type of repo it might be more important.

I use tig and with 200k commits, walking the log goes a bit wild so the trick is too just default to loading a maximum number of commits etc.

There's a sample config in the repo on how to manage large repos
