how many files do you have and what kind of hardware are you using?

Any tips on making the graph view more performant, especially if you have highly linked files?

mostly personal thoughts, lots of notes on books, movies, podcasts, etc

What are the 12K files made of? Mostly personal thoughts and interesting insights you found and collected?

200MB of text is a ton. The Bible is 4MB.

I love Obsidian and recently found your web clipper ❤️ I’m something of a data hoarder and have lots of images and even some small video files in my vaults. If I had any dev skills I’d look at creating a digital asset mgmt add-on or sidecar app that would allow tagging and OCR.
