Not so much. Each time you hit "e", it will show twice as many log. Be,
for 6 month log commits in git.git? I need one "e":
C-u 3000 e
and you have the last 3000 commit, (apparently 10 months ago in
git.git). I have to concede that magit is slow with so many commit, and
the graph get in the way.
Mmm, removing the graph in magit could be done with
#+begin_src elisp
(defun my-magit-i-do-not-want-graph ()
(interactive)
(setq magit-have-graph ()))
#+end_src
to be run in the magit-log buffer (this is untested, but it should
work). It make magit-log much more quick by the way.

This is an async shell command, you don't need to wait for it to
complete. Just let it run, and look for what you want. But it seem it
eventually make the buffer too big for Emacs to cope easily, my first
solution is probably the best one.

I must admit to not having the time to look at this.
