This extension blocks the outline view of large markdown files

This extension blocks the outline view of large markdown files.

I have no idea why...

All I can say is that the Extension Bisect feature of VSCode proved that this extension was the culprit.

Please add more information.

To recap the issue: when this extension is the only one activated (all others are deactivated), the Outline View becomes excessively slow for large markdown files: the VSCode threads goes 100% CPU (core) for a few minutes and the Outline View is stuck displaying "Loading document symbols..."

Here are some more information below.

Feel free to ask for more specific information.

Here is an example of a big markdown file (with many headings): https://gist.github.com/vibl/3f5a98990c7155669d98de36a2724bb7

I can share my own experience, with a large JavaScript file. I went a step further and recorded a profile of the extension. The biggest culprit seems to be this RegExp:

windicss-intellisense/src/utils/parser.ts

Line 87 in 5c0adbd

const regex = /(?<=@apply\s+)[^;]+(?=\s+!important)|(?<=@apply\s+)[^;]+(?=;)/igm;

You can download the CPU profile I recorded, extract it from zip and load it in VS Code or any Chrome DevTools:
extension host.zip

@mrm007 thank you so much. I hope to get the token issue sorted soon. If that is an option for you, could you share the JavaScript file with me, you can also do this privately in Discord. I could use to test an update.

@alexanderniebuhr I certainly can — it's the biggest of the Vite 4 chunks and it's around 2MB in size.

You can install [email protected] locally or you can clone this repo and navigate to node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/dep-2285ba4f.js. That's actually how I encountered the issue: it was making the CodeTour I recorded very slow/unresponsive.

Somewhat related, if you or anyone knows a way to disable extensions based on path (e.g. node_modules) that would be great. This StackOverflow answer from 5 years ago suggests there isn't such a mechanism in VS Code (and it's up to extensions to provide a way to deactivate), but things might have changed in the mean time.
