I gave it a try the other day using copilot.lua, and it made the whole editor unusably slow. It somehow caused syntax highlighting to "lag" for tens of seconds every time I made any sort of edit.

Maybe I need to be using the official plugin, and maybe I need to disable LSP based syntax highlighting, but that makes me wonder what it's doing.

What languages and LSPs are you using? I've never experienced this with Python (pyright), Go (gopls) or Rust (rust-analyzer). I'm using tree-sitter for syntax highlighting. The only special thing is that I'm using lazy.nvim (the plugin manager) to load copilot.lua on the InsertEnter event.

I am using typescript with typescript-language-server. I'll give the lazy stuff a try, but I am not sure why this would make the editor more responsive outside of the initial load.

I have pyright/shell running happily with lsbconfig and haven't noticed any lag. There's a way to profile plugins to see what's killing you I think.
