The app doesn't start to lag, the extension is rate limiting to save you from your naive self. It is slowing down so you won't get banned from the source and then you won't be able to read your manhwa at all. There is a reason the app gives you a warning when downloading large amounts.
This issue description reads like that old joke:
Patient walks into doctor's office - Patient: Hey doc, it hurts when I do this *stabs himself* - Doctor: Then don't do it

This is false, and inappropriately blames the user for what is actually a bug in the software. Please see https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon/issues/705 for a technical analysis of what is really going on.

I did, though I will still argue that a user downloading 1000 downloads is a problem. And it is not a behaviour that should be encouraged, aka you are a partial problem
We may be able to close this as a duplicate of https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon/issues/705, since I believe the reported problem (that UI performance suffers when initiating downloads) is the same. The original poster can correct me if I've misunderstood their report.
Of course, nobody expects that downloading a large number of chapters should be fast, because appropriate rate limiting should be applied in order to avoid placing unacceptable load on upstream providers - and Mihon does indeed apply such rate limiting - but certainly adding a large number of chapters to the download queue should be fast as it is a purely local operation, and certainly adding chapters to the download queue should not have run-on effects on device CPU utilization nor interface responsivity, as reported in https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon/issues/705#issuecomment-2079290042.
So, I think the only change that need be made here is to fix the filesystem performance degradation, and that is covered adequately in https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon/issues/705, hence my suggestion to close as duplicate.
