It is extremely slow. Takes 1 min until Anubis starts (1.25.0).
Anubis then takes ca. 2 min and finally denies access with:

Berechnungsfehler!
Fehler bei der Berechnung der Prüfung: undefined

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gcc.git

The gitweb links hangs forever, doesn't even start to
render anything.

The front page https://gcc.gnu.org/ loads fast,
but any non-external links like https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-16/changes.html 
are hanging.

My experience with Anubis are mixed.  Often it is very resource hungry.
Takes way more than 1 min to grant access to, say the GCC Wiki.

Moreover Anubis kills deep links, like

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc#AVR_GCC_v5_and_newer

will be crippled to

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc

Loading that page just took 4 minutes.
