Graph View Displaying Filtered-Out Path in Large Vault (and Freezing)

Steps to reproduce

In a vault add a note at the root. Then add a folder and create a large number of notes within that folder (in my case, ~2000) that each contain many links to other notes within that same folder (in my case, an average of 40 links per note). Then open the graph view. This will take a couple seconds to load (that’s not what I’m worried about). Open the graph settings and filter out the folder - -path:"Folder Name". Close the graph view and reopen it.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes. I’ve tried disabling everything (plugins and snippets) and turning on restricted mode and there is no change.

Expected result

Because the folder with the large number of notes in it is filtered out, the graph view should load quickly with only the filtered notes.

Actual result

The filtering seems to be applied after the graph is actually rendered, which means that it displays all the notes and relationships from within the folder and freezes for a while before suddenly filtering them out. It’s usable after that.

This is not a a bug but it’s potentially a good idea. Please open a FR asking for graph view to be rendered after the initial query is processed.
