What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Updated Git to 2.41.0

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Same performance in Git bash as before

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Every operation is significantly slower. CD is slower, git pull is a
lot slower, etc...

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Git bash performance is significantly worse

Are there any other significant processes beside git that affect your
system performance?

The Git project doesn't distribute any binaries at all.  If you're using
Git for Windows and seeing problems that are in Git Bash and don't
involve Git (e.g., slowness in the shell with cd), then you'll probably
want to report it to https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/
after searching for any existing issues.

I will also mention that you'll also want to indicate in your report to
the Git for Windows project if downgrading again solves the problem
(which you should try) and if you have any sort of non-default
antivirus, firewall, or monitoring software, since those can affect the
performance of programs on Windows.

Hi Brian & Bagas,

Thanks for your replies, no other processes affect performance and yes
the issue seems to be in Git Bash for Windows rather than Git itself,
I thought it came from you guys as well :)

Apologies for the late response, could not send plain text emails from mobile.

I'll report this to Git for Windows project!

Thanks,
Shahin
