Improve performance #88

Hi — I'm trying this plugin out and am finding it to be substantially more fickle than the other RegExp highlighters I've used.

Two things I'm noticing a lot are (1) that the highlight does not show up until the cursor has moved past a pattern, and (2) that there can be highlight artifacts after a pattern no longer exists.

Here's a couple examples. I have highlights on model and empir. In the first screenshot, I've typed model and the cursor is at the l, but the highlight has not appeared.

In the second screenshot the cursor is actually a space past the the end of the word and the highlight still hasn't appeared (this behavior is less common but does occur).

In the third, I've deleted empir but the border is still being drawn on the place where the pattern started.

Plugin is off to to great start!

Hi! Thank you for trying out the plugin and reporting an issue :) really appreciate it

I will prioritize these for the next release as I have also noticed some of these.
