Describe the issue
It takes 1 second for a letter to be displayed after I type it.
How to reproduce
Maybe it's because the git repository is too big？The .git file is nearly 800mb
Expected behavior
No response
Relevant log output
No response
Thanks a lot for reporting!
I looked into this for a moment using the gitlab repository. There I naturally managed to go way beyond 1s per character typed to the point where it was unusable. Most clicks were laggy, and it turned out to be an overwhelmed webview.
Instruments show that it's very busy here:
And this script showed that there are ~236.000 elements in the DOM, despite the UI really not looking like it.
const countElements = document.getElementsByTagName('*').length;
console.log("Total number of elements in the DOM:", countElements);
There are ~78.000 files in this repository, and maybe somehow these are present in the DOM?
Interestingly, the longer the UI is busy, the less CPU it consumes, it's like its slowing itself down. The virtual memory footprint was at 3.56GB and real-mem was at 120MB.
Trying to record a timeline didn't work at all - even though the button could be pressed, nothing would show. After a couple of minutes, the console of the browser window would be unresponsive and no more code could be executed, it was constantly busy and has seemingly ground itself to a halt.
I am using the gitlab repository too. I even use dua to count the size of git files. hh
