Quilter freezes up with large documents

[johnblommers]

When opening a Markdown file with 60,000 words it takes Quilter around a minute to load it all in.

When you next enable the Highlight Speech Parts (Beta) it again freezes for about a minute.

When you resize the windows again with the freezing.

And when you enable the sidebar again a minute will pass.

Indeed the sytem may display "Quilter is not responding" under these conditions. You have to wait until it passes.

I'm running a 32-core Ryzen box with 128 GB RAM, a fast system running Pop!_OS 20.10.

Please consider profiling the code to locate and tune where Quilter is slow.

Markdown file with 60,000 words

You might wanna consider using Quilter's built-in file embedding with a file that large; Get the parts into files of their own, and then just use:

/Folder/Document1.md :file /Folder/Document2.md :file /Folder/Document3.md :file /Folder/Document4.md :file

and so on.. to load the parts on the same folder in this main file for exporting later.

Good point. I did not know that Quilter had file embedding. Thanks for the tip!
