Yeah, I'm also sad about this. gitweb was fast, it didn't have visual clutter, it was able to render several times as many commits as gitlab or github, it had a lot more intuitive UI and more links in convenient places...

Brendan suggested this off-list, but if gitweb is badly optimized on the server side, could we try cgit instead? It has a similarly nice experience to gitweb and might be more efficient.
