First completion very slow

[alerque]

When first opening a ledger file the first time a completion is run (usually the date field for me) it takes a long time to return the result. After that results are fine. If this is a function of caching the list, then we should background a job that is getting those ready when a file is opened, not waiting until the first request is made.

Neovim + external command for both account and payee completion

With both nvim 0.5.0 and vim 8.2-2925, on a .ledger file with more than a few lines the first completion runs forever. I tried letting it run, and CPU was still at 100% after 24 hours.

Currently I find vim-ledger to be unusable because of this.

Example file where I experience this bug:

2021-01-01 open a:abc:def 
2021-01-01 open a:abc:ghi

Now start writing:

2021, vim-ledger hangs after typing "20".

Thanks for the small example. Unfortunately it doesn't reproduce for me, so that complicates things. I suspect some option I'm using in my init file is bypassing whatever your problem is. Can you include any config related to this plugin from your rc files?
