Vimperator is too slow on pages with many links

[Darksonn]

On pages such as reddit with many links, it can take up two entire seconds between pressing f, and the hints being shown on the page.

I suggest an option that allows us to have vimperator precompute the hints on a page.

Precomputing hints is infeasible, due to a) the dynamic nature of modern web sites and b) we calculate hints only for the current viewport which changes all the time.

So a fix would need to do more profiling to see what exactly is so slow, and then see if there is something that we can do about it. Patches welcome :)

Any progress on that? This is the major problem I have with vimperator (which I otherwise love).

Vimperator gets extremely slow on facebook after scrolling down a bit on the home page.

this get too slow, to the point that's a convenient feature becomes very inconvenient to use
