I have the Similar comments tab open, as for most activities I have a pool of reused comments (though perhaps too many and often-enough changed that tags are more awkward to use here) -- it's generally useful to type the first few characters and select the matching one.
However, a couple of my activities have a large number of unique comments (typically noting down some reference just for that instance). For these activities, there's a noticeable moment of lag after typing the first character -- I'm guessing it's either where the query to fetch similar comments starting with that character runs a bit slow, or a large number of UI buttons are generated at once) which nearly always mean the second character I type gets lost. Past the first character it seems to be ok, so I assume this is down to there just being too many results to start with.
Not sure if the query or UI can be optimised here; I can see from the scrollbar that the rendering of UI buttons is paged to some extent already.
Alternatives: I can toggle off the Similar comments view, but then it's constantly on and off between different types of activity and the input generally feels a bit clunky to use while fiddling with the active tabs. The similar comment search also covers all activities, whereas perhaps it should just search the current one?
