`live_grep` slow, blocks input
Description
When searching for files inside of an small-sized (YMMV) codebase, I've found live_grep to slow down and even suddenly stop processing input for a few seconds:

Neovim version
NVIM v0.8.0-dev
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
Operating system and version
Arch Linux - 5.16.16-arch1-1
checkhealth telescope
telescope: require("telescope.health").check()
========================================================================
## Checking for required plugins
- OK: plenary installed.
- OK: nvim-treesitter installed.
## Checking external dependencies
- OK: rg: found ripgrep 13.0.0
- OK: fd: found fd 8.3.2
## ===== Installed extensions =====
## Telescope Extension: `fzf`
- INFO: No healthcheck provided
Steps to reproduce
invoking Telescope live_grep and searching for stuff is enough
Expected behavior
Results updating in real time, whithout hiccups. Input field processing keystrokes without hiccups.
Actual behavior
Results taking time to update, input field not processing keystrokes all of a sudden.
Minimal config
vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
require('packer').startup {
{
'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
{
'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
requires = {
'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
{ 'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make' },
},
},
'BurntSushi/ripgrep'
},
config = {
package_root = package_root,
compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
display = { non_interactive = true },
},
}
end
_G.load_config = function()
require('telescope').setup()
require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')
-- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]
require('telescope').setup {
extensions = {
fzf = {
fuzzy = true, -- false will only do exact matching
override_generic_sorter = true, -- override the generic sorter
override_file_sorter = true, -- override the file sorter
case_mode = "smart_case", -- or "ignore_case" or "respect_case"
-- the default case_mode is "smart_case"
}
}
}
require'telescope'.load_extension('fzf')
Does this happen with Telescope live_grep previewer=false ?
