Are you in windows by any chance? Magit is crazy slow on windows because of it's interaction with git, which is very quick on linux. I started trying it on windows and couldn't see why people would use it, and now that I'm on linux I have no problem with it.
I use both magit and git cli now. Magit is great to get an overview of the changes, the main view is very interactive which is great (e.g. chunk or even line by line staging/discarding/etc. is great)

But to each their own of course.
