Experiencing the same. Unless you are on a really fast machine task entry can get very slow. Namely: current ryzen laptop is percievably slow but usable, older haswell laptop is a bit of a pain.

I'll also note that I'm also running sleek1.3.0 as the last version I was using before snap caused some problems.

That version isn't having problems with the exact same size text files!

(If text file size is a concern.)

@jason-mehmel @callegar can you please check this pre-release in your environment and provide a quick feedback, if the issue here still occurs?

I created a fake todo list with 1.500 todos and ran this pre-release on a 2015 i3 Thinkpad. The difference between 2.0.2 2.0.3-rc.1 is huge on this device. I'm curious about your environments.

[callegar]

The 2.0.3 RC1 release appears to be faster, thanks! As soon as I am on my slower machine, I'll double check that it is fast enough even for it.

[jason-mehmel]

It's definitely much faster!

I am noticing a slight amount of delay when entering text, but nothing compared to previous. The delay I'm noticing is something that I can live with!

Do you notice that delay also while typing in the search bar? And may I ask on what kind of hardware you're on? Rather on the outdated or more modern side?

[jason-mehmel]

I don't think there's a delay in the search bar!

And the very slight delay I'm noticing maybe isn't there? I've tried just spamming the keys and I think it's slightly slower then typing in a text field like this one on github, but I can't verify that!

It's not causing any kind of delay that would interrupt my ability to use the program.

The laptop is about 5 years old I think? Main stats below.
