Today? Rest assured, they have been very, oh very slow, for a long time. Their Twitter status feed and post mortem dialogue ad infinitum is proof enougb. GitHub has nothing to worry about just yet.

From a regular ($DAYJOB) GitLab.com user: this is hyperbole. GitLab.com is slower than GitHub.com, in general, but not "very, oh very" slow.
Sounds like GitLab when I used it two or three years ago is the same as today. Downtime all the time where we lost access to code, slow browsing, etc.
To be fair, they're experiencing an exodus from GitHub right now. Such events are not the norm.
GitLab.com*. Self-hosted GitLab is unaffected, of course.
