Got it. Seems to confirm my suspicion about what’s causing the lag.
We’ll do an optimization pass on graph view a bit later which would address this issue.

This should be better in 0.8.9+
OK. Awaiting that version than because I also have lots of graph issues.
Prefectly understand it takes time to produce a graph.
I am using vaults with 80K+ articles in them (biggest).
The smaller vaults have 30K+ and 19K+ articles.
My Macbook is the newest generation so computing power enough 
I would agree, but you’d be surprised. Drawing canvas elements might look simple but it’s actually highly taxing, especially at high resolutions. I have a brand new max-spec Mac Mini (3.2 Ghz six-core i7, 64gb RAM, all SSD storage), and it also struggles. (Thinking about upgrading to an eGPU.)
Not that I doubt the devs’ ability to work some optimization magic… but I think expectations here need to be tempered. Point is, live-updating a canvas graph of tens of thousands of elements should probably be considered a high-intensity computing task akin to rendering high resolution video or computing a massive data model of some kind! Ergo, it might never be perfect.

Adding to the discussion, you may be interested in reading Performance issue after switching to Preview mode in v0.8.4
Performance optimizations is always an ongoing thing, and especially for graph view, which requires resolving links from each file, things gets quite computationally expensive when the file count goes up there.
There will always be a theoretical point for amount of files after which it will start impacting the app for your computer spec. A better computer certainly help; our optimizations also push it further.

Totally agree and no worries. One should ask what the added value of a 1K+ elements or even more is…
And I do understand perfectly that this takes a lot of computing power.
You are all doing an unbelievable great job! Thank you for that (really mean that).
You guys are already taking care of the optimisation issues. The 80K+ nodes are read in a minimum of time and also searching goes very quick.
You can always contact me when you need some testing capabilities on big vaults.

Delayed to 0.8.10
This is just to confirm that 0.8.10 solves this for me. Graph is much MUCH faster, even on my old iMac. And no more hang-ups while editing.
Cheers!

Thanks for confirming! Moving the bug to graveyard, since 0.8.10 is coming for everyone
