Description

The plugin is taking a long time too index and causing Sublime Text to spike the CPU usage.

How can I fix this. I am using the default settings, haven't changed a thing.

MacOS: 10.14.6
Sublime Text: 3.3.2
Plugin version: 3.6.2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the indexing delay and CPU spike with the default settings on the reported Sublime Text 3.3.2, macOS 10.14.6, and plugin 3.6.2 versions. Compare indexing behavior and resource usage while narrowing down whether the issue is reproducible; done means identifying a cause and confirming improved indexing without excessive CPU use.
