Notes list causing frame drops

[SnoFox]

When NeatNoter is left open on the list view, it causes frame drops/hitching akin to microstutter every 5 seconds. If you minimize the NeatNoter window to just be the titlebar, click into a note, or close the window completely, it alleviates the issue.

Example of it happening: https://youtu.be/wcFclX1SE0A (Minor spoilers. Sitting in Endwalker city, note titles show older dungeon names)

In linked video, you can see the players freeze as well as the ImGui showing plugin RAM usage at the following timestamps: 1s, 6s, 11s, 16s, 21s, 41s, 46s, 51s

I do have search set to include note contents, and a secondary backup dir on my local SSD. I've noticed this seems to auto-save every five seconds, even when I've made no changes.

I can attach my notes export if you believe it's note content causing the issue. I've categorized nearly every note, but only having 30 of them.

I've not yet attempted to see if it's a conflicting plugin; will be willing to test if you're unable to replicate/have no suspect.

Thank you for the very detailed report! I have some ideas on the fix I'll look into.

Thanks for looking into this.

I've noticed today that the category list is also causing this issue. I had a note up and left the category picker behind it, which also was causing lag spikes. I simply closed the category picker and the issue was again mitigated.

I wasn't able to replicate this but I think it's because I was actually saving everything every 5 seconds (as you noted). I made the saving smarter to only save the modified documents. I also added some options under settings to configure how frequently it performs the smaller and full saves. I've pushed it to my custom repo and it's pending a merge on the official testing repo. Let me know how it works out. https://plugins.kalilistic.io/

Just got into the game and loaded up v2.1.4.0, it seems to resolve the issue.

While it was pretty consistent before, I'll give it a good burn-in test this weekend.

Thank you!
