Slow on large file (cursor lag) about tagbar

[raven42]

We have tried various methods to have tagbar run as a background task, but so far we haven't been successful in getting it to function seamlessly. There was a PR a while back that added the g:tagbar_file_size_limit option to not run tagbar on file sizes that are too large.

PRs are always welcome if someone has any expertise in the matter, but I don't have that expertise or frankly the time to rework much of this plugin at this time. I jumped in as a user of tagbar and started to help out adding smaller features and fixing bugs that I can, but this has been more of a side project that I've been able to spend time on as I have it.

So unfortunately we don't really have a good fix for this at this time. As I said though, PRs are welcome. I'll leave this issue open for the time being incase anyone with more expertise in the matter has time and the inclination to address it, but I fear we may be out of luck for this one for the time being.

Agree, that's too sad.

Maybe a rewrite of tagbar in LUA could help? A tagbar.nvim plugin.

Anyway, I also confirm the laggy cursor movements when running tagbar on big files.

Unfortunately, after running tagbar on a big file, this lag persists even switching to a small buffer, even if tagbar is not run in it, and I'm forced restarting Neovim.

Tested with Neovim v0.8.3 stable, on Windows 10.
