Git Extensions cpu usage on big repo

Question

Git Extensions takes ~42% of CPU, !PERMANENTLY!, when I open specific repositories (pretty big projects... but I would not say huge. I mean we have ~20000 commits on the repos I'm talking about)

Opening smaller repos is not a problem, CPU is loaded and then drops down.

Can I do something to avoid this? (+ it's only on my computer... my colleagues don't have this issue opening the same repo)

• Windows 10
• GIT 2.28
• Git Extensions 3.4.3.9999

Answer 1

I had the same. What helped for me was turning off the 'Build server integration'. As soon as I turned that off, the CPU usage dropped to a normal level.
