I love magit and I use it basically every day. But lately, at my work's monorepo, I've been greatly pained by how synchronous it is (like much of Emacs). When I want to fix a unit test, I find suspicious commits by a grep for some keyword through diffs in the git log, and unlike the git CLI, magit will not show me any matching commits until it has searched through all of them (capped at 256 matches by default), which takes a very long time. I love so many creative Emacs tools, but the wait times from magit and consult get painful.
