High resource usage #259

Description

@tovine

The extension seems to have strangely high usage of both CPU and memory - even after it's done indexing the workspace and I'm not doing anything other than keeping two SV files open, it's consuming roughly 45-50% of 4 CPU cores (so "200%" total), and jumping between 2.5 and 4 GB of RAM usage.

This seems like a bug, any idea what might cause it?
For context: my workspace is a medium-sized monorepo and the status bar says "SystemVerilog: 61713 indexed objects", so there is a bit to keep track of. However, I'd expect the activity to stabilize once done indexing (until I actually use some of the functionality), and the continued (large) fluctuations in RAM usage seem to indicate that it's doing something over an over which might intuitively not be needed?
