[request] can graph generation be moved into a dart isolate? #69

rendering a graph with 100+ nodes can be quite taxing on the main flutter thread causing loading spinners and other UI animations to freeze until the graph is complete. if the heavy work can be done in a dart isolate it would greatly improve the overall UX of graphview.

I doubt it will be easy, as the algorithms are being called during laying out. Still I definitely think the performance can be improved somehow.
