Emacs Consult package uses debounce and throttle delays by default for asynchronous search, which can feel slow. Users can reduce these delays by configuring consult-async-input-debounce, consult-async-input-throttle, and consult-async-refresh-delay to ~0.05s for a snappier UI experience.
Background
Consult is a popular Emacs completion framework that integrates with fast search tools like ripgrep and fd. Its default conservative delay settings were designed to avoid spamming external processes, but some users find the latency unacceptable.
