Describe the feature

Hello. I love your plugin btw. But if I get the LSP references and the list is quite big (+100 references), the quickfix renders slower. Maybe we could add an option that disables the treesitter highlight if the list is 50+ elements.

Could you be a bit more specific about the problem you are seeing? Does the quickfix buffer take longer to open? Is it causing Neovim to be laggy? Is it just taking a while to highlight?

I made the highlighting (both treesitter and LSP) async with the intention that highlighting might take longer for long lists, but it shouldn't block the UI and ideally won't add much lag (some lag is unavoidable).

I am also experiencing this issue.

UPDATE: the buggy behavior I was experiencing has disappeared. Here is what happend: open a project, change to a subdirectory, make some search and put the files into a quickfix list. Initally, the quickfix list has the correct file paths and the highlight works. If I close the session and reopens again, the file paths of the quickfix list are not correct: they were relative to that subdirectory but now they are relative to the project directory, thus are inexisting files. This is what caused the bug... But this depends on how the session is saved (I have to figure it out, it is handled by other plugin)
