Bug?: Breadcrumbs index occupies huge amount of RAM / Obsidan lags (and on mobile: crashes)

If I ‘activate’ the breadcrumbs plugin on my Windows PC it builds the index, the CPU utilization goes up and the occupied RAM for Obsidian increases from 700 MB to 2400 MB and it stays at this level (that would be about 1700 MB only for the breadcrumbs index …). Obsidian ‘lags’, but there are no breadcrumb-errors in the developer console.

(Additionally: If I ‘activate’ the breadcrumbs plugin on my android phone, obsidian mobile hangs/crashes after a while - so I can’t use breadcrumbs in Obsidian any more).

I don’t know why breadcrumb occupies such huge amount of RAM and slows down obsidian.

Any idea/help or advice?

Thanks in advance!

I’m working (building hierarchies) only with “Tag Notes” Notes in the Vault: 6215 Tags in the Vault: 8715 (mostly nested)

Mine is much closer to the 6k than the 50k at 14000 but no problem at all. So my vault adds a hearty chuckle too😀 On Dec 1, 2022 at 8:30 PM -0800, Phillip Johnston @.***>, wrote:

My 50,000 note vault laughs at the idea that 6000 is large by any standard. But I also don’t experience this when I use Breadcrumbs. When I refresh the index, there is perhaps a 5 second lag. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

@KuiyueRO: Thanks for the advice - but I never turned on ‘Ducks View’ or ‘Refresh Index on Note Change’ (it’s always off) …
