Resources and Speed

Firstly, THANK YOU!

Now, my problem. I'm currently running this on a 1GB file. It's been running for over an hour and is using 13GB RAM (I've got 20GB)
Even with smaller files it can be quite time consuming.

I know that it may require a significant rewrite to make it more efficient but it would be nice if it at least only did the viewable lines instead of the whole file

Thanks again 👍

Unfortunately, this is just a limitation of the plugin.

1. Sublime does not offer us the line endings. I can't just inspect the text in a window of the view.
   I have to read the content from storage. So we just read the whole file.

2. Sublime's phantom creation may take a bit more time than just inserting plain text, but it also ensures we never confuse real text with our tokens.

3. While I can see the desire to run this on large files, it is not designed to do so, and since
   it is not really easy to chunk the content through the Sublime API, it is what it is.

The bigger the file, the longer it takes to render. FWIW, I think RawLineEdit fulfills most of my needs. I'm open to anyone willing to put it in the time to make it more efficient, but for as often as I use it (which isn't very often) there just isn't motivation for me to do that work at this time.
