This has very low CPU usage, +and will work just fine on very large projects (for large projects I would +recommend increasing `tags-max-depth` and turning `regenerate-tags-if-not-found` off). + +LSP servers have lots of features but use lots of CPU and memory, +and may take longer to come up with completions/find definitions, especially +for large projects. However the LSP server runs in a separate thread, so it will not slow down +the ordinary text editing features of `ted` (unless the server starts +using 100% of all CPU cores, which is unlikely). + +I would recommend trying out an LSP server if you're unsure about which one to use. + ## LSP support ted has support for [LSPs](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/)! |
