The bad news

The time it takes for the Tree Sitter Colors to be applied is really slow.

The good news

This is not a Tree Sitter problem, and it is probably not a serious issue since Atom already has a fast implementation with the tree sitter. It is likely made worse by the tree sitter being an extension, however it is probably still solvable within the extension, and will simply be made that much better once it is integrated into VS Code.

Performance improvements will probably be looked into once a decent solution is created for backwards compatible theme support.
