For what it's worth, in the last year (since January 23, 2017) we've merged ~440 merge requests labeled "performance"[0]. It's not perfect right now and there's still plenty of work to do, but compared to when I started at GitLab almost two years ago it's night-and-day.

We've also got an entire team dedicated to porting our Git layer to Go with Gitaly[1], which has been a major bottleneck that we've started resolving over the last year or so.
