It’s not the number of commits, it’s the number of files changing that can slow you done. If you are in a monorepo where tens or hundreds of thousands of files are changing everyday, checking out the old branch before rebasing can take a while. That said, this is only a problem at my work. Even the largest of open source repos I have worked on have been mostly fine with Git’s slow rebase implementation.
