On a very large file (say ~1000 lines but should be a normal size), the vim UI blocks during loading of the file (i.e. entering the buffer).

Profiling gives:

:profile start profile.log | profile func * | profile file * | e python_file.py | profile pause

We would desire cyfold's computation runs in a background (using async features as other plugins such as ale, coc.nvim, deoplete do) so as to not block the UI. It would be non-trivial to implement though.
