I've found that enabling Trust File Modification Time helps, at the cost
of git-gui doing (very) occasional rescans when it notices that a file
it thought was modified turns out to be unmodified. As Konstantin said,
things generally improve once the initial scan primes the disk cache. YMMV.
The setting is in the Preferences, or "git config gui.trustmtime true".
