Steps to reproduce

So when typing commands like sudo apt update <space> git clone <space> sudo apt upgrade <space> It freezes for a few seconds. But it gets annoying so i just CTRL + C and this is the output.

% cd $(mktemp -d)
% git clone --depth 1 -- https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git
<output>
% > .zshrc <<EOF
setopt interactivecomments transientrprompt
PS1='%# '
PS2=
RPS2='%^'
source $PWD/zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh
EOF
% env -i HOME=$PWD PATH=$PATH TERM=$TERM ${TERMINFO:+TERMINFO=$TERMINFO} zsh -d
% <inputs>
<output>

^ Do the above. I notice the freezes only last about 1 second now, but still noticeable.

I have similar things when I use rsync and tab to complete the folder names.

I bisected the issue locally to https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/bbbefed0f27502917b0812a02cd38f32aab55770, which seems a plausible cause as the commit adjusts the main completion logic. At the previous commit, https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/adfade31a84dfa512a7e3583d567ee19ac4a7936, completion works as expected without any freezing for me. So a potential workaround for this bug is to git checkout adfade3 in one's installation of zsh-autocomplete.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with shell or zsh plugins to suggest a fix, but hopefully this helps with investigation.
