Vim has built-in markdown filetype detection, so adding au BufRead,BufNewFile sets the filetype for a second time, evaluating indent, syntax, etc, which can make loading markdown files very slow.
An alternative might be to use setfiletype instead (:help :setfiletype) to make sure it only gets set once, but in general, I don't think a plugin that adds functionality to a markdown file should need to set the filetype itself.
