After an editor has been created and its lines tokenized, we were previously scanning the entire buffer to search for symbols or fuzzy provider tokens. This operation could be quite expensive, and its cost grew linearly with the size of the file.
(Benchmark performed by opening big.txt, 5.2MB)
With this pull request, when
largeFileMode
is detected, we simply avoid scanning the buffer, which makes opening files larger than 2MB significantly faster. In the future, we might also improve this further for files smaller than 2MB by recomputing symbols or fuzzy provider tokens in chunks via request idle callbacks.For now, in conjunction with atom/atom#12933, this should fix all the remaining large files performance bottlenecks that don't concern text-buffer.
