I've just imported some of my open source projects from GitHub to GitLab, not because I'm in panic mode due to MS, but because i wanted to try out GitLab again already for some time. I've used it once 2-3 years ago for a short time in a self-hosted version in a client project, and was mostly unhappy with it's perfomance. I thought it was mainly because it was running on very slow hardware, but the gitlab.com version now feels even slower. Is this because they have currently big problems with unexpected increase of users or is this normal?

gitlab.com is normally slightly slower (not slow enough to be hard-to-use), but this exodus from GitHub is really something else.

Gitlab requires a lot of resources. We have a local Openstack cluster and were running GitLab on a small instance. It was a beast. Moved to a larger instance and it works beautifully even over the Internet from another ISP.
