It should help if you are facing performance issues in large files. Read the docs for example usage of this variable. Alternatively, you can pass `lazy_update_context=true` to the `setup` function to turn off context updates on the `CursorMoved` event completely for all buffers. It's useful when you just want context updates to happen only on `CursorHold` events and not on `CursorMoved`.
