Description

The new update (0.1.8) significantly improved performances, making oni really usable as a daily driver, but some "interface heavy" events (like window resizing, or search-as-you-type in FZF.vim) still feel really slow compared to terminal neovim and neovim-qt. Thanks!

Research direction
First, reproduce the issue by resizing the window or typing quickly in FZF.vim. Profile the UI thread to identify slow functions. Look into the codebase for event handling related to window resize and search input. Consider using requestAnimationFrame or debouncing techniques. The issue is old, so check if the codebase has changed significantly.
