IntelliJ is only performant due to its indices of pretty much everything. That is its true magic.

In contrast, the Git CLI and most if not all other UIs have zero sorts of caching and have to start from scratch for everything.

That seems like a problem that could and should be solved.

It's not a bug, but a feature. No cache is by design.

There's nothing stopping Git from storing its state in an sqlite db.
