Potential performance improvements investigations

[LightFLP]

In the following issue I suggest several leads for improving performance, which could be investigated:

1. Separation of LogView and/or Minimap in smaller sub-components (introduce functional components). The separation in smaller components could be useful for introduction of React memoization (Second point of investigation)

2. Application of React memoization through the use of: PureComponents, memo for functional components, useMemo() (react.dev) and useCallback()

3. Application asynchronicity/concurrency through web-workers( web-workers simple example )to complete slow and complex operations in the background instead of on the "main" thread.

4. Application of debouncing to postpone the rapid execution of complex computations.

5. Use of OS libraries for optimization. For example, applying react.fast.compare in combination with memoization to avoid unnecessary re-rendering.

There are VS Code extensions to help open large files, e.g. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mbehr1.vsc-lfs
I haven't tried this.
