How to improve performance?

[ChillarAnand]

When I started using zsh-autocomplete, live history search wasn't working. I spent couple of hours to debug and finally realised live auto complete is slow because of my history.

I have been saving/syncing up shell history from ~10 years. Now it has ~0.25 million entries. I did some clean up and reduced the entries to < 0.1million. Still autocomplete is slow.

Any suggestions on improving the search performance?

There is no workaround at the moment, other than reducing history size. There is an open issue to address this problem: #459
