The plugin can block Neovim for a long time about cmp-cmdline HOT 3 OPEN

Hitting this too at the moment, made me think it was an issue with cmp-path: hrsh7th/cmp-path#68

Temporarily working around this by disabling cmp-cmdline on e and edit:

  -- Use cmdline & path source for ':' (if you enabled `native_menu`, this won't work anymore).
  cmp.setup.cmdline(':', {
    mapping = cmp.mapping.preset.cmdline(),
    sources = cmp.config.sources({
		{ name = 'path' },
		{ name = 'cmdline', option = { ignore_cmds = { 'Man', '!', 'e', 'edit'}}}
	})
  })

from cmp-cmdline.

It is possible to get around blocking calls that take a long time. I wrote a autocompletion plugin (https://github.com/girishji/autosuggest.vim) for cmdline-mode completion in vim9script. I solved this problem by adding a timeout to job_start(). There are certain completions that are long running (like ** expansion). I check them first in a separate process. I assume similar mechanism can be used in neovim as well.

hitting this too.

I would be happy (enough) with the ability to exclude some paths from cmp-path completion as a work-around (happy to file a feature request under cmp-path if desired)
