That is correct: magit has two classes of git execution, synchronous for 
(mostly) status updating and asynchronous for (mostly) user initiated 
actions.  There is a somewhat confusing pull request open at 
https://github.com/magit/magit/pull/516 to add a command log, but the 
attached patch(es) do not implement the synchronous logging needed for 
status updating.

I use magit to interact with github.com/mozilla/mozilla-central, a fairly 
large repository, and I have several patches under development to make this 
more performant.  I would love testers and reviewers, if people are 
interested.  For example, https://github.com/magit/magit/pull/636 speeds up 
branch-guessing significantly for me.

I also have patches in the works to

* add a mode-line indicator during refresh;
* cache frequent git invocations;
* make displaying tree-graph output in logs an option (this is very slow on 
large repositories);
* log git invocations, outputs, and record running times (so that we can 
profile magit more effectively);
* make sections not be refreshed automatically.

These almost make magit useable with mozilla-central.

Yours,
Nick Alexander
