This seems to indicate that there are some potential performance improvements. Thanks!

For now, I've disabled vim-devicons for denite by loading denite after vim-devicons.

Thanks for creating the issue :smile:

By the way there _is_ a config for that but looks like we forgot to add it to the readme/doc:

let g:webdevicons_enable_denite = 0

Yeap, still we have it: denite + devicons => perfect recipe for Vim process Hang for a few seconds :( . I'm uninstalling devicons plugin

This is still an issue. I get this when using comfortable-motion and vim-devicons.
