forces emacs to freeze when inside a directory with uncommon file types

How to recreate the bug

git clone https://github.com/kanaka/mal.git

cd mal/impls/forth  && emacs . &
# or
cd mal/impls/dart && emacs . &

I chose this repo because it specifically has many files in many formats. Even after rendering the icons navigation becomes very slow. I was wondering if the rendering process is restarting after every command and if there might be a better way to handle the issue with time outs or async.

Thanks, I see the direcotry like below. But I cannot feel any performance issue in the directory. However, that "icon" doesn't help to recognize the file type, so if the Emacs can't display it, we might want to show another icon.

Try the forth or other uncommon directories. The issue I face is that emacs hangs if all-the-icons-dired can't detect file type of most of the files. I might attach a gif.

Same thing in forth directory. I can't see "meaningful" icons but there're no performance issues.
