Re: With lots of notes it's become slow. Can I switch off the wikiwiki-like linking system?

Since I'm searching a replacement for Tomboy, which seems to be
unavailable on Ubuntu 20.04, I take the liberty to add my comments
here too.

Right now, I'm comparing Tomboy Version 1.15.4 against Gnote Version
3.28.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.  My > 8700 notes files (including templates
etc.) are synced against a version control repository, so that I can
work with both programs in real live settings.

These times are just roughly measured by counting:
* open existing note: 5 seconds
* saving note: 15 seconds
* creating new note by adding a link within an existing note: about one minute
* sometimes it takes 5 seconds to switch the focus from one open note
to another open note
* on Ubuntu 18.04, I do not know how to reopen the search window if I
close it other than restarting the application

I just accidentially clicked on a https link inside an open note,
after > 30 seconds I got a "Gnote is not responding" alert which I
answerd with "wait" but Gnote terminated anyway.  After restarting it,
only a part of my changes until then were saved. I do not know what
happened here, so I tried again to write somethig and hit a link, but
this time it worked, but I also got a "Gnote is not responding" which
I answered with "wait".

Since I have so many notes in Tomboy, I can't upgrade my Ubuntu
workstations or laptops until I find a working solution on the newer
Ubuntu versions.  I also tried tomboy-ng, but that has other
shortcomings.

Where is the current source officially hosted? I have these two repos,
which seem to be actively updated (by you it seems):
* https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnote/
* https://github.com/gnome/gnote

Btw, I selected the links from a note with Gnote and pasted it into
the web editor.  The pasting took at least 5 seconds.

So, is there anything I can do other than testing the official Ubuntu version?
