I can definitely confirm that somewhere around the 8.0 release (I forgot when exactly) GitLab got a lot faster in general. Previously with the 7.x line it took about a couple seconds at least to load a page but now I barely get over a second until "onload", with response times of about 400ms.

In general I wouldn't consider performance with GitLab an issue and denote it as a selling point for Gogs anymore - it would just be nice if it no longer felt like a Ruby on Rails website...

A optimized site of mine with similiar complexity and database setup has a response time of 16ms and an "onload" event after about 400ms (using PHP-FPM 7 & MariaDB). ;)

Glad to hear performance got better in 8.x. What can we improve to make it feel better?

Less memory usage.. I went from gitlab to gogs because of that.. 2gb usage while idle..

Thanks, we're working towards a multithreaded application server to reduce memory usage https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3592
