Not sure what kind of pointer you are asking for.

What I meant is that magit almost completely conceals the buffer text
with display strings and overlays that display something entirely
different.  Emacs's display engine was never designed to work in such
conditions, and it's a wonder in my eyes that it doesn't break
completely, or at least becomes unbearably slow.
