We see that at work too, we have a team of ~20 using Gitlab and we have to give the VM 10GB of RAM (with Gitlab as the only thing on it) and kill the process overnight in order for it not to hang. The source code repository is ~ 6GB and maybe 1.5 million LOC, but the speed problems are all in the web UI, clones, commits, and so forth are as fast as always.
