xcode 8.3.3 extremely slow

[seratonic]

Description

I have XVim installed, XCode is operating extremely slowly. Cause and effect ? --> I'm not certain but I'm assuming the plug-in is the culprit for the time being. When I go to edit text, XCode is chronically beach-balling and unable to keep up with my typing. I type at average programmer speed if I had to guess.

Running XCode 8.3.3 on latest Sierra, MBP 2.6 GHZ Quad Core. I don't believe this issue is specific to recent, specific version numbers. I believe I've seen this issue in earlier versions of both XCode and XVim but this is the first time I've written it up.

Operation

General typing. Takes a long time for XCode to catch up, display symbol-matching drop down dialog for, ostensibly, faster editing, etc.

Expected behaviour

Full interactivity. No latency when typing as in any reasonable editor.

Environments

• Xcode Version [ 8.3.3 ]
• XVim branch and revision [ Master as of 8/10/17 ]
• Keyboard Language [ English / US ]
• Input source language [ Objective-C++ ]

Crash log (if any)

 none

Verified that when I remove XVim, editing is back to normal, interactive speed.

My MBP is a mid-2012 unit btw.

I have the same issue. and I found there might some memory leak issue with XVIM Plugin
