It's running on a tiny dedicated server in the Netherlands with an Intel Atom C2750 (2013) so that's something to keep in mind. By default the log page will return 100 commits which is more than most forges return. Thanks for pointing out the slowness!

There is a good performance comparison of forge performance here: https://forgeperf.org. Ayllu isn't feature complete yet so I haven't run those benchmarks against it.
