Yes I noticed today that scrolling a syntax-highlighted file was by far the worst it's ever been. I also noticed that typing a search query into the bar at the top of the page could not even keep up with typing speed.
Not sure about the March timeframe - for me it seems like the site went off a cliff in the last week or two.

And browser back button typically doesn't work either, immediately putting you in this weird webpage <> URL mismatched state.
Ha, try Gitlabs UI then talk me me …
- The file explorer drops frames, scrolling and searching cause lockups.
- Reviewing anything but the most trivially small PRs doesn't work: clicking on files often lazily loads them and never finishes, ctrl+f causes huge frame drops
I've tried both the new and old PR view and neither is particularly good on either Safari Technical Preview or Google Chrome, and my general purpose machine is an M1 Max with 64 GB of RAM.
