Just like a truck will always be more sluggish than a small car. They are very different beasts where one is aimed at enterprises and the other one for small projects without all the corporate needs.

A truck is sluggish because of its weight and inertia. It’s a law of nature. What law of nature is making Gitlab slow?
The enterprise version is just as slow.
I thought they're only struggling with the free public version, but no. GitLab run on a private box is the same bag of lags and loading spinners.
I'm not talking about GitLab enterprise vs. GitLab free. It's about GitLab vs small projects like Gitea / Forgejo mentioned in the parent comment.
"It's enterprise" it's such a lame excuse, IMO. There shouldn't be a speed tax, especially if you aren't using the "enterprise" features. We need to stop making excuses for bad software. It's 2026 we have insanely powerful computers, why should I have to wait to get the result of searching a few text-only issues or display a diff?
