I think git is slow on Windows, and magit doesn't make the problem better or worse.

- BeetleB 6y agoNope - git is mostly fast on Windows. It's magit that's the problem - or rather how magit does things. It launches several git processes to do basic things like status or commit, and that is fundamentally slow in Windows.

- omaranto 6y agoSo you are saying git is slow on Windows, but only because starting any process is slow on Windows. Interesting. I've heard there is work in progress to have magit use libgit2 instead of running the git executable. That should help.
