They've been promising to fix performance and the UI for years now, so I wouldn't hold out much hope. It's a shame, but there are better open source products so it's not like there are no other options for self hosted.

For what it's worth, in the last year (since January 23, 2017) we've merged ~440 merge requests labeled "performance"[0]. It's not perfect right now and there's still plenty of work to do, but compared to when I started at GitLab almost two years ago it's night-and-day.

We've also got an entire team dedicated to porting our Git layer to Go with Gitaly[1], which has been a major bottleneck that we've started resolving over the last year or so.

IMHO the UI did get better over the years.
