Too slow

[seagle0128]

Thanks for this great extension!

I tried fanyi, youdao-dictionary and go-translate, and looks fanyi is the slowest. It's better if fanyi can return the results faster.

The fanyi buffer is beautiful. However, I haven't used this package for quite a long while because of its slowness. I have similar keybindings for fanyi and youdao-dictionary. Sometimes I call fanyi by chance. It can take more than 5 seconds to get the results. I profiled Emacs when I used fanyi. But I don't have a clue to what might be wrong.

See #19 for a quick profile. I will then update README to mention how to profile fanyi.el.

I don't think the troubleshooting mentioned in #19 is helpful. I'd suggest to experience both fanyi and go-translate/youdao-dictionary.

[condy0919]

go-translate/youdao-dictionary looks pretty fast!

But go-translate/youdao-dictionary directly uses the translation API, fewer texts are transferred than fetching the entire html pages that fanyi.el does. It needs to do some investigations, the detailed reason will be posted here later.
