LazyGit is unusably slow in big repos like nixpkgs

Seems similar to #2875, though I am not familiar enough to say.
Recently became interested in contributing to nixpkgs which is probably the hugest repository ever ever, and gets like a garrilion PRs merged every femtosecond. Because of that, LazyGit seems to have a very unfun time trying to load it. It takes multiple dozen seconds to even open the app and any git operations would be done faster on a turing machine. Curiously CLI commands like git log seem to do fine despite the history of the repo being epically long. This is probably because `git log` does not attempt to load the entire history of the project, but again, I'm too smooth brain to know these things.
Would appreciate any insight on this, and I thank you for the precious seconds spent reading this, that you're never ever getting back btw
