Running Gitlab in any kind of scale beyond a single server is a major PITA. And it's very poorly optimized.

Gods, for some reason GitLab consumes 5-10% of a CPU at all times. I spent weeks trying to get it to calm down to reduce our AWS spend. Absolutely no changes no matter what I tried. On my 2013 Xeon server at home it's even worse.

GitLab is great, I really do enjoy working with it. I hate running it.

Yeah, I love gitlab as a user - but as an admin, the performance feels like something out the 90s. I had to use the gitlab-rails REPL console for something a couple of weeks ago. Even on a server with tons of headroom, it took *10 minutes* to start up?

That I am well aware of. I hate running Gitlab. I jsut wonder what different features different people are missing.
