Currently, small to medium sized files render quickly enough every keypress. However, with large files and bigger, there is a noticeable slowdown when moving the cursor around.
I figure that if we moved cursor rendering and placement into the frontends, this should allow the backend or frontend to simply cache the styled text and then they can be updated when something destructive happens (insert, delete, replace).
This should increase throughput.
