Widgets with repeater fields in them lag when there are many items in the repeater.

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

In the slides widget of Elementor Pro I have to use around 50 slides, when I add all the slides the editor lags for some time whenever I close or open the slides tab in the content section which contains the 50 slide items I need for the slides.

I have had similar lagging issue with other widgets which contains a repeater control in Elementor and Elementor Pro both.

Please tell me how to solve this, I have looked everywhere for a solution to this problem but couldn't get one.

Describe the solution you'd like.

It would be nice if the tab that contains the repeater items opens and closes quickly.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I have noticed that this happens with repeaters that have a lot of controls.

It would be nice if there was a way to make a clone repeater control in the STYLE tab which would have the same number of items as a main repeater control in the CONTENT tab and I can manipulate the styling controls from the clone repeater and the content controls from the main repeater.
