Hi @estevE11 could you include a screen recording of the issue? I tried the same and performance is great on my side even over t3 connect

Hope this helps!
Edit: I edited the file with VIM just before recording and wrote "context" instead of "content" and not even that got cought. Time it takes for it to update seems random.
