Last time I used a Mac was around, maybe 3 years ago, so this certainly may have improved.

I had a lot of issues with Brew, but the biggest one was how slow it was. Upgrading all packages on my Mac used to take hours.

Still quite slow. As far as I know, it's just a big heap of small ruby scripts that invoke each other, and ruby isn't known for blazing-fast performance. It also uses git internally, and quite heavily, so that probably adds some overhead as well.
