Raw encoded file is causing lag with syntax highlighting enabled

[DudeThatsErin]

Plugin information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Templater version: 2.2.3
• Obsidian version: 1.5.10
• Templater settings:
  Template Folder: 00-Templates
  Scripts Folder: 00-assets/scripts
  Everything else is basic.

Describe the bug
When I have templater enabled, without even using it, it causes my Obsidian Vault to lag on my PC.

Expected behavior
No lag with the plugin enabled. I tested on the sandbox vault and no lag. But on my vault with this enabled it lags.

It lags specifically with this file:
IGN Information.md

If I import that file into my Sandbox vault with the templater plugin, my vault (entire vault, not just this file) lags.

Screenshots
I had to upload the gif to my icloud.

For some reason having raw encoded files is what causes the lag.

Do you have an example of a raw encoded file I could test with?

I uploaded it in my OP

Thanks, can reproduce!

It's from the syntax highlighting, seems like it's having a hard time parsing the file to decide how to apply syntax highlighting.

For now, you can turn off syntax highlighting in Templater settings and performance returns to normal. I may need to look into rewriting that code.
