Description

Currently, the quickfix for LSP is slow due to the implementation

  • Quickfixes directly set the workspace edit instead of using resolveAction
  • During creation of the quickfix edits, a new live resourceset is used instead of using ILanguageServerAccess#doSyncRead

Research direction

Start by tracing the xtext-lsp quickfix implementation described in the issue. Inspect how quickfixes set the workspace edit, how resolveAction is used, and how live resourcesets interact with ILanguageServerAccess#doSyncRead. Done means the quickfix avoids the two stated slow paths and performs acceptably for larger workspaces.
