I've had to use Jira Cloud, hosted by Atlassian themselves and presumably meant to be their hosting showcase, and it still chugs and is sluggish once "configured" for a large enough team or the whims of enough managers above that team. That Inner Platform Effect of Jira's weird scripting languages and SQL-like-but-not-exactly SQL filters provides a lot of room for management to slow everything down on every page forever.
