Magit's failure mode is downstream of it (I believe) pulling in diff information on the status page. When I've had this problem, doing `git status` on the command line has always been more or less instant. There is something inevitable about needing time to display a lot of information. But I think magit is eager in some places that lead to extremely costly magit workflows when the raw git workflow would be much faster.
