How is performance vs ghci using solutions?

[codygman]

Is there any difference in the performance of using hie files and LSIF for Hover to show types or go to definition for very large projects?

If you haven't tested and don't say "the performance is worse even for small projects" I'll probably get around to testing this and trying to answer that question.

I'm not sure the question is well defined. How are you using hie files or LSIF to implement hover?

[codygman]

Sorry for not being clear.

From my understanding hie and ghcide both use an external ghci process for hover. It appears in this project you've implemented an LSIF index on top of which hover can be implemented.

I'm asking if the function that implements hover in this repo using HIE files vs the existing functions in hie and ghcide that implement hover with an external ghci process.
