Why is SourceTree 2.0+ SO SLOOOOOOW??!?!

Question

I've recently updated to SourceTree 2.0.20.1 on Windows, and it doesn't seem like it can push or pull anything from origin. I've reverted to using Git via terminal instead.

When I open it, it downloads *something* before opening (after like 20 seconds). Wtf? Are you mining bitcoins in the background???

Uninstall all versions of sourcetree.

Remove (or copy to another location) C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Local/Atlassian

Reinstall sourcetree.

Re-add your repos.

Voila source tree no longer hangs when you try and do anything with it.

Here's the file you required:

This screenshot was taken after trying to push a commit with just 2 spaces as a change:

This one was taken after 10 minutes:

Note that I did not cancel the Git push. Trying it in the terminal, the operation finished after 2 seconds.

Hello! Could you do the following for me:

* Open the slow repo
* Go to "Repository -> Benchmark Repo Performance"
* Upload the resulting file

Thanks!
