[BUG] Slow performance when files modified

[technotherion]

Forgive the vague nature of my report. If this is not helpful I can gather more information.

First Steps

• [x] I've ensured that the issue does not already exist by using the search feature
• [x] I've read the documentation (see the README)
• [x] I'm on the latest release of obsidian-list-modified
• [x] I'm on the latest release of Obsidian
• [ ] I've tried disabling any other plugins that may cause conflicts (optional but recommended)
  • I intend on trying this in a testing vault later to help narrow down some things such as vault size and plugins.
  • I know for sure that Linter is not causing this issue, which was my first suspicion.

Describe the bug

When a document is first modified, Obsidian freezes up for a few moments. When the Write Interval was set to 0, performance issues made it extremely difficult to write notes as Obsidian would lock up every few seconds. I set the Write Interval to 3000 and this has helped considerably.

I am assuming that the freeze is caused the plugin is writing into the modified section of the note that I have my Modify List in.

Expected behaviour / suggestions?

• Compare date of note modification with the new date to be written. If the date is the same, do not rewrite. (I do not know if this already happens.)
  • Maybe it would be helpful to ignore notes if their date/hour has not passed yet.
  • Option to ignore or limit to only hh as the smallest time measurement so that the file only gets written to at most once an hour.
• Wait until the file is manually saved or tab switched before saving the modified date to the list (a la Linter)

My setup

I am syncing my notes via DropBox using the default Windows client. My vault contains 3,496 files.

Can you try to reproduce this bug while in verbose mode under the plugin's settings? After you turn that on, open ctrl+shift+i then go to console and try to get it to lag. Please screenshot the console messages you get when Obsidian lags. I basically want to know if the lag is caused by many file modifications at once (sync issue, I see you're using dropbox) or something else

Sure thing -- will add this to my todo list. Please poke me if you do not hear back by the end of the week.
