Hi there - on the dev Joplin 1.3.5 version.
I'm experiencing some lagging while typing out in notes. I'll type the words, and a split second later the text types out. This isn't happening for every letter, just some of them.
This was happening in the previous 1.2 version and I don't think it was an issue before. I don't experience this on my system in any other apps.
Any ideas to avoid me having to hard reset things?
Is there any large log file in your profile directory?
So there was (about 245MB), I deleted it, restarted it, it's still happening.
Happy to take any further suggestions to debug this, if there's no idea, I'll try deleting the profile directory and restoring the backup.
Could you share the debug file? Or at least a section of you see the same reported error. Probably just a relatively small slice will be enough.
Found the debugging page.
Here's the info from the console:

In the log file, I don't know if this is normal behaviour but this stuff appears in the debugging mode every 4 seconds or so while I'm editing. (Could it be that it's saving/synching too often?):

2020-10-19 09:22:50: "Saving note...", "{"id":"0e6e82daa78241c7bfe71016aa5911ea", <contents of note here>
My sync settings are set to 24hrs btw - file system (Dropbox folder), so something's going on here that it's syncing so often...
It looks like you're Joplin instance is spitting out debug information on every sync. This should only be happening if you have debug enabled by add a flags.txt file to the config folder (next to log.txt). My guess is that you had created this file at some point and haven't deleted it yet. Please delete that file and fully close Joplin (File -> Quit) then re-open Joplin. Should be better from there.
You asked for the debug log, so I enabled the debug mode (by creating the flags.txt file) and copied the results. Sorry, not much experience outputting this stuff with Joplin.
OK just deleted the Joplin profile folder, opened it up. No notes or tags, no lag. Imported a recent export - no changes to the settings, lag.
The only thing I can think of is that there's quite a few tags there (several thousand I think), maybe that's an issue?
A chap responded to my Github issue has the same problem. He posted a screengrab gif of this issue. I'd continue it there but there was no response in the Github page.
Further testing. Tried a fresh install of an older version (1.1.4 version), then imported my jex file and the markup editor, while slightly slow, was MUCH better.
Updated it to 1.2.2 and slowdown was back.
So it's not settings, not my DB or any persistent stuff that isn't my markdown.
Forgot to mention, this is all running on Mac Catalina.
It's a few thousand tags on a single note?
Could you take a larger snippet out of the log.txt? Without flags.txt present, that was my mistake.
No a few thousand tags in general. No more than a dozen or so (I'm guessing) per note. Old Delicious import from Evernote. I'm trying to sort out a bulk delete on most of those but it's a Python script contributed here and I need a bit of time to work it out.

I run in the same problem.
But the Problem is only pressent on one of my windows clients.
At about 2020-10-19 18:30 i created the note with the lag that i show in the git issue
log_nourl.txt (876.6 KB)
Cheers for chiming in Jack - here's my sync status info:
If you're having this problem could you give a try to the latest pre-release please? https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v1.3.7
Rendering of the sidebar is more efficient in this release and in particular it won't update every time the note changes.
@laurent looks like that's done it, my text rendering is much faster. Had a little delay at the beginning of typing some test text out, but I think that may have coincided with a sync. The rest of the paragraph worked fine. Great stuff. I think you can mark that as solved!
Yes, with v.1.3.7 the problem seems to be gon!
Also the switching frome notebook to notebook is faster 
Brilliant, glad it's working now.
Good job dude!
