IIRC, some magit commands require more than one git invocation, and if you are working on Windows, starting processes is quite slow. I work with bigger repositories (>100 Kilorevisions) and magit is almost instantaneous showing the status and doing most of common operations. Usually I work on a 2.4 GHz quad core on Linux. When I switch to my Windows netbook things changes dramatically, not only due to raw CPU power, but mostly to git's performance penalty on Windows. That said, showing the status of a 100 Krevisions repository with 3 times more files than git.git takes about 25 seconds with a cold cache and 2 seconds with a warm cache. Working with diff chunks on the Windows netbook is slow, in the sense that I must wait for git to finish. On linux it executes commands almost as fast as I can type. [snip]
