High levels of lag when git_status is enabled

[A-Lamia]

Not sure exactly why but in some project files neo-tree has very high cpu usage around 5-6% and is causing a lot of lag, the only real difference i can tell with one that lags from ones that don't is a lot of unstaged files, about 20 ?

OS:
Windows 10

nvim:
v0.8.1

It seems like Windows often has weird performance issues, especially with git operations. There is an update to the file scanning system in main right now to make it more asynchronous, and there is a PR to do the same for checking git ignored files: #621

It's possible those fixes could solve your problem when they are released.

git_status is absurdly slow. If I open a file and then I go into another file within node_modules with reveal_file and toggle neo-tree panel there it opens 10x slower. But the worst part is when I come back into the previous file outside of node_modules now that file is also 10x slower when toggling the panel.
