Using external grep on windows made howm slower #6

Open artsi0m opened 7 months ago

I've have had use-package directive in my config.

(use-package howm
  :init (setq howm-view-title-header "*")
  (setq howm-file-name-format "%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.org"))
   :custom
  (howm-view-use-grep 't))

I installed grep from scoop (scoop.sh) And when executing howm-list-grep it becomes an order of magnitude longer, than without howm-view-use-grep set to t.

Also my new config become literate: https://github.com/artsi0m/emacs-organizer/tree/4c8e0cd3d28646a63fc65567cb5cf4a8a18ad481

You can find all workarounds, that I use to interconnect howm with various org packages, like org-fc, package for flashcards.

It seems that often it becomes slow, when searching for something that is not present in howm or only present in one note.

Hmm, this issue is difficult for me since I don't have a Windows machine for testing. Any help from Windows users would be really appreciated.
