Big performance hit on large files (5000 lines CSS)

I'm sure this is more related to the fact that our stylesheet is so massive, but there is quite a performance hit when typing and the linter is constantly updating. Would it be possible to have the linter change its behavior to give a smoother experience?

Some ideas:

• Add a buffer (say a few seconds) after the last key typed before recalculating the errors
• Disabling yellow warnings (would this help)?
• Only calculate linting errors shown on current viewport and have a separate find all errors function.

Performance should be a bit better since linter started using the decorations API. How well do things work on your big file these days?

Performance is greatly improved. Wow! Night and day difference. Thanks @dmnd .
