Slows File Open By A Lot

[Noah Huppert]

With no extra configuration installing salt-mode increases the file open time by about 3 seconds.

Thanks for reporting @Noah-Huppert. Yes, I believe this slowness is due to the mode calling a salt-minion process for eldoc hints and documentation functions. I'll look into it and try to defer its execution.

Thanks for this mode! :)

Is it any workaround available? Like, disabling the eldoc hints?

That might work yes. Sorry for my lack of activity on this issue. I still use this mode almost every day and the slow file open annoys me every time. I normally start emacs when my computer boots and leave it open continuously. I see a slowness the first time I open a .sls file, but barely any slowness after that. If you open each .sls file by calling emacs top.sls you'll see the issue every time, sorry.

I hope to look into this soon!

Thanks for waiting @Noah-Huppert and @humitos, this should be fixed by e76e78d.
