title: Egit very slow at handling big projects
body: <p>The problem is that Egit/Eclipse is very slow at dealing with big Java projects (~2,000k files).  Very slow means following on a windows 7/quad core/SSD setup:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>60 seconds for drawing the commit window </li>
  <li>another 30 s for doing the commit (would be acceptable)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><b></b></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>60 s for drawing the push window (changes view)</li>
  <li>another 120 s for pushing (would be acceptable, too)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><b></b></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>1,620 s (27 m) to synchronize between two branches (both have been checked out sometime)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>For a productive environment this times are not acceptable.  I don't think I'm doing something wrong, because testing everything on a completely new project results in "real world" performance. </p>
  
  <p>Is this usual?</p>
