Description
If I have a very large diagram with many objects, it seems like draw.io is considering every object in the diagram for alignment of the current object (i.e. the blue guides may appear to align the current object with one that is perhaps 20 or 30 elements away, so it not even in view on my screen). It would be useful to limit the objects considered for alignment to some local area around the current object, since most often I need to align the object locally to some nearby object, rather than one that is very far away in the diagram.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the client-side alignment-guide logic and reproduce the behavior with a large diagram containing distant objects. Done means alignment considers only objects within a defined local area around the current object, with nearby alignment still working.
