Summary

For big repositories(Up to now I tested with a 2.5GB repo on my own omnibus installation & 5.6GB repo in gitlab.com directly(https://gitlab.com/superna9999/linux)) clicking repository --> Charts will take too long & eventually fail with error 503. You can check the behaviour yourself on https://gitlab.com/superna9999/linux.

Steps to reproduce

Go to https://gitlab.com/superna9999/linux --> Click repository -> chart & wait for it to fail. This is also the same behavior on our own omnibus installation.
