Very high CPU usage, then a guaranteed crash of Obsidian #119

Hey! I've really enjoyed using this plugin, it works wonders. However, as of this morning, I've noticed it seems to be causing some seriously high CPU usage (jumping from <2% at idle to over 35% in Task Manager), followed by a 100% guarantee of Obsidian crashing.

I've disabled all of my plugins, going through one by one and re-enabling. I've confirmed it is definitely this plugin. One important aspect to note is that this occurs when a file is saved via ctrl+s. So I imagine some event is being fired that calls upon a very intensive algorithm and, as a result of this algorithm failing, running indefinitely, typing up system resources etc., it results in Obsidian crashing.

I'm sorry I haven't included any logs or other information. Nothing appears in the console from ctrl+shift+i. Let me know what other information I can provide and I shall.

I can confirm this. Drastically increased CPU usage on'WindowServer' and 'Obsidian Helper' processes, and a spinning animation on checklist pane. (Mac Mini M1)

Possibly duplicate #109 .

Hi, I've witnessed this issue occurring with obsidian for approx the last 3 weeks, whereby due to priorities, I hadn't gotten around to determining which plugin was causing the drama. Unfortunately, once I removed this plugin from my dir, obsidian started behaving as normal. I haven't determined if specific plugin settings causes the issue. I'll find time to start a separate vault to test specifically. it might be a combination of plugins that are causing the issue...
