The laggy typing after adding the question classifier to 20 lines is most likely caused by the way the classifier is triggered in the frontend and processed in the backend. If the frontend triggers classification on every keystroke without proper debouncing or throttling, and the backend processes each request synchronously, this can quickly overwhelm the system—especially when scaled to many lines or fields. This results in noticeable input lag as each keystroke may wait for a classification response before updating the UI.

Recent updates have focused on improving the stability of the question classifier, but there haven't been specific optimizations for performance or typing lag yet (source, source).

To mitigate the lag, check if you can reduce the frequency of classifier invocations (for example, by adding debouncing in the frontend so classification only happens after the user pauses typing), or limit the number of simultaneous classifier instances. If you can clarify whether "20 lines" means 20 input fields or 20 lines in a single field, I can help with more targeted suggestions.
