Exponential loading time

[ETHAN-MENDEL]

I've been using this package to render some pretty large/complex markdown within a vscode webview pretty successfully for a while. All of a sudden I noticed from one case that the webview seemed to lag out and eventually vscode would stop responding and ask to force quit itself.

As I started debugging this issue, I noticed that the number of characters I was trying to render ended up increasing the render time astronomically. These are the outcomes of the experiments I conducted:

For each run, I formatted the same string as markdown using the same method which resulted in a string of length 3205, then sliced the string to the specified lengths to ensure as controlled environment for testing as possible

characters to render	render time
2620	instant
2630	5 sec
2675	30 sec
2700	1 min
3205	causes vscode timeout

These character counts do include the markdown special characters like # / - / `

Does anyone else have this problem or see something similar?

Could you possibly provide some example content?
