Beachball is spinning on toggle Mini Map.

Viewed 14

I have a lengthy document which exceeds more than 5000 lines. on toggling the mini map, the beachball is spinning every time for 5-10 seconds. then the mini map appears. This is happening on M1 MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM. I am using Marked 3. I am using the latest version.

I can work to make the background process not block (beachball), but taking some time to generate the PNG file required for the mini map on a long document is definitely expected.

I relieved some of the beachballing on large documents, but because converting the web view to a PNG (which is how the mini map works) has to take place on the main thread, it's always going to block the UI and I have to accept that as a pitfall.
