feature request: speed up incremental search with idle handler?

[cpbotha]

Thank you very much for the SyncPad extension, it's (almost :) perfect!

I have about 263 notes. Incremental searching can get really slow with delays of up to 20 seconds after each keypress. I"ve tested this on Windows and Linux, on CPUs varying from Core2 Duo, through Core2 Quad Q9450 to Core i5 mobile on Chrome 18 and earlier versions. Would it be possible to build in an idle handler, so that it only updates the search results when I stop typing? This would greatly improve the apparent interactivity.

I've made a patch for this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/207154/syncpad_incsearch_delay.diff

It would of course be even more ideal if SNNotelist.prototype.request() could be sped up, but I have not yet been able to see if this is even possible.
