Keypress lag when using LinkHints (Chrome 51.0.2704.63 beta-m [64-bit] on Win10; Vimium 1.55)

I love this extension and use it a lot. However, the recent update is much slower on certain sites. (www.kissanime.to is the site I've mainly had issues with so far [do be aware that I do use AdBlock and Tampermonkey to disable all ads, so those aren't the issue]) It takes one to two seconds to register each keypress. If a fix can be found, that would be great.

Thanks, @c0ldk453. I can't reproduce on that site -- link hints are snappy for me there. Is there a specific page?

However, what you describe is possible. This relates to global link hints and there are two issues at play:

• Vimium now displays hints for all frames in a page, so this means we're collecting more hints and doing more work. Most of the time this is helpful (you can do stuff you couldn't do before), but occasionally it is slower.
• On some pages, there are out-of-viewport frames containing many links. We cannot detect whether a frame is within the viewport so, in these cases, we end up generating considerably more hints than necessary, hence doing more work than necessary.

I figured it out. It's how Vimium interacts with the Disqus plugin on the site. It's likely something to do with what you spoke of. Do try testing it out with sites that use the Disqus comment plugin. That's my best guess. When I disable Disqus commenting in my personal preferences, it works normally again.
