Description

I try to create pull requests and the 'compare changes' step takes 10 minutes! Create pull requests make the browser crashed!

How big of a repository are we talking about here? Do you have any logs?

[webjoel]

In my case is a little slow too, repo is very big, an solution is add gauge/loading image for feedback to user. It's possible?

If yes, is good add too in apply merge pull request, what is very slow too e no exixsts feedback to user, only the loading in the browser title.

My repo size is: 1,8 GB.

Issue related: #601

I am currently experiencing this too on a project with a size of 146MB. :)

@adelowo maybe you can send a pull request.

[adelowo]

@lunny I will try to take a look at it in the coming week hopefully.

By the way, mine takes 3 -5 minutes without causing a browser crash

@MsBuggy @webjoel @adelowo is this still a problem?

[webjoel]

@lunny I am using an old version (commit 1b2aff0), I have not yet been able to upgrade to the latest version, so I'm not sure if the problem persists in the new ones, but in this one I'm using the slowness continues.

[adelowo]

@lunny I no longer have access to the repository so I will not be able to test that

Ok that Gitea version is before the substantial speed up pr #4921 @typeless made was pulled.

[webjoel]

@lunny @lafriks Is it possible for this PR ( #4921 ) to inner in 1.7.x release? Or is it only 1.8?

Anyway, for me can close this issue, since other related issues were also closed, so the best should have generated performance gain.
