Typing in url bar has become laggy
I think this has been happening for a week or two (I can't remember when I first noticed it, I kept assuming it was a temporary thing and not really paying much attention) and my suspicion is that this is something underlying changing - some dependency or something - rather than qutebrowser itself, since I don't think qutebrowser has updated in that timeframe.
When I type in the address bar, it's laggy in the sense that letters take a moment to appear as I type, until it's not matching against anything, then I can type as normal. So it's clearly something to do with the matching.
I've tried the git version of qutebrowser and that behaves the same.
I've tried setting web_history.max_items very low (I went as low as 50) and that made no perceivable difference.
It doesn't happen when I run with qutebrowser --temp-basedir but I assume that's just because there's no history to match against. So doesn't really tell me much.
I'm on and up-to-date Arch with qutebrowser installed through the repos. Happy to provide more info if it'd be useful.
Thanks for any advice!
edit: just noticed the same behaviour when doing set: blah and it's matching against settings rather than history. So it's not specific to history-matching.
