We have to balance shipping new features https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/#how-do-we-keep-shippi... with performance tweaks and bugfixes.

If we would not have shipped new features and still did just just version control GitLab the company would not be viable. We're committed to shipping a single application for the whole DevOps lifecycle this year https://about.gitlab.com/2017/10/11/from-dev-to-devops/

But there are multiple performance tweaks en bugfixes going out every month, including this one.

The big performance tweak in this release is the merge request view refactor https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/22/gitlab-11-1-released/#me... which makes loading merge requests much faster but there are 35 other performance improvements https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/merge_requests?scope=...

There were 141 bugs closed in this release https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?scope=all&utf8...
