BEFORE the typed character shows up? Are you sure?

16ms should be an absolute upper bound for a character to show up. Everything else comes after.

No. These things should happen concurrently, probably on different threads. If I quickly type “foo“, I don't need to do run autocomplete and code analysis between each character. That would be horrible.
