Filtering a large directory is janky #669

Open a large directory like /bin and start typing. There's a significant delay in the characters appearing or disappearing when you type or press backspace.

My initial intuition is to use useDefferedValue(). I'll try to look into it.

Shouldn't you just do standard throttling / "debounce" on the input? So it sets a very short timer while typing and the timer is reset on each key, basically, so it doesn't update on each keystroke?
