Yeah, many of my text files use a very large number of links. I use text files both as a kind of personal wikipedia and also for notes in a kind of Zettelkasten Method style (which, again, is basic...

I'm using a mid-2014 MacBook, 2.6 dual-core i5 w/8gb ddr3 ram. It's a bit long in the tooth at this point. It's running 10.15.7 Good news is I am not experiencing any of the lag and slow down on th...

One more experiment today: When I turn off "use wikilinks" in the options, all lag and high system resource usage vanishes and it works well. So at least everything I am doing points to the wikilin...

Ok, tried something else. Created a new folder with no text files. No lag, even when creating and following links.  However, when I grabbed 2000 random txt files from the other dir and put them in ...
