Re: [BUG] org-cite: 10 second hang opening a ~4k org file with 10MB bibtex library [9.5.2 (9.5.2-g91681f @ /home/jdm204/.config/emacs/straight/build/org/)]

As mentioned in the title, the lib.bib file is ~10MB - if I swap this out for a non-existent or tiny bibtex file the problem goes away, and the in-buffer citations are rendered in a red face. Clearly from this and the below profile the issue is something to do with checking etc the citations for fontification purposes.

Could you try the following:

1. Execute the following code:

(require 'elp)
(elp-restore-all)
(elp-instrument-function #'org-cite-basic--get-entry)
(elp-instrument-function #'org-cite-basic-activate)
(elp-instrument-function #'org-cite-basic--parse-bibliography)
(elp-instrument-function #'org-cite-basic--all-keys)

2. Open your org file where Emacs hangs
3. Run M-x elp-results
4. Report the ELP buffer contents here

Best,
Ihor
