atom-elmjutsu: Atom freezes, disabling elmjutsu seems to solve it

Some time in the last month or two I’ve had huge problems with atom freezing. When i look at activity monitor, atom helper is using all the CPU. If i try to disable elmjutsu the problem seems to go away.

I tried looking in the dev console, and last time atom froze this is the last few messages:

[elmjutsu] getActiveRecordVariable null 0.12500000093132257 ms

I haven’t fiddled too much with the elmjutsu settings, tried to disable datatips but no luck.

I’m using atom 1.34.0, elm 19, node 10, osx 10.14.2. I reinstalled OSX the other day, and even with a fresh install of atom, node, elm and co, the problem occurs.

Heaploads of files in the project, 700k loc js, 95k loc elm. But i’ve ignored most of that (node_modules, elm-stuff etc), so what should be indexed is around 70k loc elm across 350 files and really no js.

Let me know if there is anything i can do to help debug this…

Love elmjutsu btw, main reason i stick to atom!
