Performance speed issues? (just a question)

[ghost]

In my case, this plugin obviously slows down the performance speed of vim. I don't know Vim well, but it seems to slow it down when it goes into buffer. It delays by about a second, when I move the window in <C-w>hjkl or when I use :b to move the When switching buffers. A similar plugin, colorizer, doesn't have this kind of delay. Is it just me? (I'm new to Vim so I don't know how to research it in detail. )

can you provide some more info or a more specific example here? the plugin might be re-executing when context switching which I have at least partially addressed in the past

my vim workflow is usually pretty simple and i usually only have 1 buffer per window, but I did some fixes for vim split which has multiple buffers.. your workflow may be outside of my initial assumptions

I'm also having this issue.

I usually have 4 or more splits/buffers open at a time, and switching between them is slow, (slows more with additional buffers)
when I uninstall it goes back to normal. I'm also pretty new to vim, so possibly there's something in my .vimrc that's messing it up.

I added, "autocmd BufReadPre,BufNewFile * let b:did_vim_sass_colors = 1", and set the '1' to '0' The seems to have helped quite a bit. There is still a little lag when switching between splits, but much better now.

I also experience crippling performance issues with this plugin, even when just scrolling within the same file. I had to uninstall it because it was making nvim too slow.

Very interesting extension but unfortunately I had to uninstall it because of its very very slow speed.

It is indeed even slower when using several panels / split screen.

My projects use a lot of colour variables which are structured as follows:

A file of initial colour variables > A file of references to these variables > Final files using these references.

I would be happy to use this extension again if it improves its performance.

@Scribler @emmanuelclement @shmargum for those wanting an alternative that works, there's https://github.com/norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua. It is very fast and "just works"

@mrjones2014 : Yes, but the point of vim-sass-color is to tint the $variables themselves. As far as I know it is the only extension able to do this and it is its strength. (In the meantime I use vim-css-color.)
