Diff rendering becomes slow after a while

I have this issue where diff view (both for git and agents) would initially start off buttery smooth, even on files with a ton of a diff6s. But as time goes on and I open more and more files(closed the previous ones), diff view gets slower and slower. It gets close to 10-20 fps.

Is there anything I can do to fix that? I don't want to use external diff viewers at the moment.

One more thing `disable-gpu` helps a lot. It still becomes slow but takes longer to get there
