Previous method of splitting files into lines and incorporating a timer is sub-optimal in two ways
By avoiding using
vim.gsplit
, we can avoid some overheads it needs to account for patterns and options, and we can check for timeouts more incrementally (every 200 bytes) to avoid getting caught up in huge singular lines.Based on quick and dirty benchmarks against large-ish files in the issue above, I'm seeing about a 4-5x speed increase.
