Improve *SetOption hooks performance

Here’s a discussion started by mawww on IRC for people not there who might want to chime in: mawww For performance reasons, I need to change the way to generate the .*SetOption hooks The problem is that dumping options to text to generate the “option_name=option_value” text can get quite slow, for example :git blame can be slow here (in debug) because the option holding the line flags gets updated a lot and every time, we need to go though the list of line flags, format it to text, then form…

Repeated adds and removes should generally be avoided. You’d be better off just setting the entire option once.

You could make the module more performant by calling the hook less, for example instead of on InsertIdle you could just check for InsertKey ‘;’ and then only run the update if the modified line was an import (and do similar for deleting).

Finally you could make it Async by forking the awk script and having it callback with the kak cli rather than directly to eval. Although I’d guess your performance issues are due to all the option modification and not the awk script.
