Hi @tomsb,

The issue I’ve posted in [slow-performance-with-large-vaults/16633](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/slow-performance-with-large-vaults/16633/) was about linking to other documents from the text area, and it is fixed in 0.12.3 for me. There is a small lag, but it’s less than 1s and barely noticable.

I’ve just tried searching for `the` in the sidebar search, and it was almost instant. Maybe it’s cached somewhow. Searching for `"data structure"` was a lot slower and took 4-5 seconds.
