Describe the question

Hello, and apologies if this is a duplicate. Since version 25.12.29, I’ve noticed a noticeable delay when the UI reflects file state changes for actions like creating, cutting, and deleting files. The operations themselves complete almost instantly, but the file manager takes noticeably longer to update the display.

If I open version 25.5.31 alongside any newer release build (including the nightly build), the difference is immediately apparent. For comparison, opening two instances of yazi with the same 25.5.31 version shows identical, responsive behavior. I’ve tested this across several Linux distributions, and the issue persists. I’m using the default configuration.

Is there a configuration option I can tweak to reduce this delay?

Anything else?
