Just a short update on this issue…

 

After some additional analyses of the code I found the problem. We have a ResourceChangeListener that fires a LabelProviderChangedEvent containing the elements to be updated. After importing a project, all resources are treated as ADDED and this results in a decoration of all resources. When removing the elements array from the LabelProviderChangedEvent constructor and firing a generic event, this problem is solved, i.e. only visible elements are decorated.

This doesn't seem to address the issue of whether files in the repository are determined to be 'team' files, though. Regardless of decorator performance changes, we should be marking the .git directory and children to be part of the team generated sets. 

This isn't just a semantic distinction, as other plugins will traverse all files in a project and skip team files explicitly; so fixing the eGit decorator isn't going to help them.
