I run into this as well. Often I will use "tig" for just these
moments, and then go back to magit. Elisp can rather slow at large
tasks sometimes, but perhaps there are ways to optimize magit too.
Well, it could be a lot lazier about discovering changes. Right now
it appears you store a complete diff of the repo and then "fold" away
the parts that shouldn't be displayed. Instead you could gather just
the information needed to display the buffer and then gather the rest
of the info during idle (or on demand, whichever comes first).
