Hi there, Thanks for providing gitlab.com for free, at our company we did a successful migration from our hosted instance to the public shared gitlab.com instance.
The bad news is that all developers are experiencing very slow response times over SSH. Facts: $ time ssh g...@gitlab.com true GitLab: Disallowed command ssh g...@gitlab.com true 0.02s user 0.00s system 0% cpu *4.099 total* $ time ssh g...@gitlab.com true GitLab: Disallowed command ssh g...@gitlab.com true 0.02s user 0.01s system 0% cpu *6.612 total* $ time ssh g...@gitlab.com true GitLab: Disallowed command ssh g...@gitlab.com true 0.02s user 0.01s system 0% cpu *12.394 total* Wow, 12 seconds to establish the SSH connection is a whole lot of time! I hear you say: probably your connection is slow, etc. First I checked on a dedicated server, and got the same response times. Then, here is more detailed timing information: $ time ssh -v g...@gitlab.com true 2>&1 | /usr/local/bin/ts May 12 12:53:14 OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8 May 12 12:53:14 debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/jbq/.ssh/config May 12 12:53:14 debug1: /Users/jbq/.ssh/config line 26: Applying options for * May 12 12:53:14 debug1: /Users/jbq/.ssh/config line 34: Applying options for * May 12 12:53:14 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config May 12 12:53:14 debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for * May 12 12:53:14 debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 53: Applying options for * May 12 12:53:14 debug1: Connecting to gitlab.com [104.210.2.228] port 22.

Is this a known problem? Any plans to solve this? Looking for your input.
