Performance issues after docker-status introduction

[noorul]

With the changes in https://github.com/Silex/docker.el/pull/84, I see that there is significant lag testing my patience. Please provide a mechanism to disable this.

[Silex]

@joshbax189 any idea how to implement this?

[joshbax189]

@Silex yeah should be greatly improved by #171

[noorul]

If anyone else is facing this issue, as a temporary mechanism I added the following to my config

(defun docker-container-description-with-stats() "Containers")
(defun docker-image-description-with-stats() "Images")
(defun docker-network-description-with-stats() "Networks")
(defun docker-volume-description-with-stats() "Volumes")

[Silex]

@noorul I'm working on the async branch which should dramatically improve performances. I'm also thinking about a global flag to disable stats.

[Silex]

@noorul, @joshbax189 can you guys give the async branch a test?

I need to handle things like error handling but it'd be functional.

Then I'll work on the magit-section ($ buffer) and the vterm support.

[Silex]

@noorul: check the latest version and tell me if that's ok or reopen if you still need a mechanism to disable the status.

This looks good to me with respect to performance. One issue is that the too many messages are being dumped to message buffer (bottom of the screen). This distracts a lot.

[noorul]

Maybe a dedicated buffer like magit-process buffer could be better.

[Silex]

This is the plan, yes.
