Please investigate the slow (irresponsible) LZString issue in Edge

[cyfung1031]

I wonder why this would become an Edge specific issue.

See https://github.com/cvzi/Spotify-Genius-Lyrics-userscript/issues/34 See https://github.com/cvzi/Youtube-Music-Genius-Lyrics-userscript/issues/18

Here is the userscripts zip file for your reproduction.

Is the code slow in LZString or is it slow in Greasemonkey? (reference code below)

Maybe when compressed data is passed to GM.setValue() it's triggering an anti-malware security check in Edge (assuming that's actually a thing). Someone will have to strip the code down to a much simpler test case to isolate the actual issue because there's a lot of moving parts.

async function setJV (key, text) {
    if (typeof text === 'object') text = JSON.stringify(text)
    if (typeof text !== 'string') return null
    const z = LZString.compressToUTF16(text) // eslint-disable-line no-undef
    return await custom.GM.setValue(key, z)
 }
