I’m experiencing a performance issue in Obsidian when working with larger notes containing content collected from web pages. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new note. 2. Add a large amount of web-based text/content. 3. Edit or scroll through the note for a while. 4. Notice that Obsidian becomes slower and less responsive. Expected behavior: The note should remain responsive while editing and scrolling. Actual behavior: The editor becomes noticeably slower after working with the larger note. Environment: - Obsidian version: [your version] - Operating system: [your OS] - Device: [your device]
