Cursor freeze in normal mode in large codebase

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Type: Performance Issue

In large codebase, with thousands of protobuff generated files and other project files, move with simple h,j,k,l or navigating with ctrl+o, ctrl+i, ctrl+] is freezing. I do moves, wait 3-7 seconds, cursor teleports to desired place, and after that moves goes as usual.

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the delay in a large workspace with the reported VS Code Vim extension and project conditions, then trace the command path for h, j, k, l and the listed navigation commands. Done means the reported cursor freezes are eliminated or the responsible bottleneck is isolated with supporting evidence.
