Each keypress has cumulative delay when working on a slow network share

[chtenb]

Reproduction
Open a file on a slow network share and notice that each keypress has a delay (in my case about 2 seconds). Even if I press 5 keys in quick succession, they still take 10 seconds in total to complete. This is not only for selection movements, but also keystrokes in command mode.

If I open a scratch buffer with :new, this slowness goes away immediately.
If I open a file on my local disk (which is normally fast) helix remains slow, until I change the cwd to be outside the network share as well.
Setting the language to text with :set-language doesn't change the responsiveness.

Operating system: windows 11
Logs: show nothing out of interest
Installation method: compile from source
Config: I passed -c /dev/null to ensure default config

Let me know if I can do any other tests to troubleshoot this issue.

In summary
If either the current file or the cwd is on a slow network share, each keypress has a cumulative delay
