Few hundred thousand files

My definition of "really big" is changed. I was talking about around 10k files of source code.

The project is in java, the machine has 8 Gb ram, and when I open a different file it sometimes catches brief freezes - not to the point where it stops "being performant enough", but still noticeable. Also, sometimes nvim-tree is slow when I expand directory, which is annoying

Hmm. I'm not super familiar with Java's LSP setup and such, but my instinct is that it might be something to do with the performance of its syntax highlighting. The person I am, I can't help but wonder what plugins you were using, but I won't push to try and help you get it solved necessarily. Hope you've found a good solution with your current editor though!
