Performance problem (when printing a 7MB API endpoint on the REPL)

[solanav]

I consult the following API for example: nist CVE API. The result is 7.7MB aprox. Lem gets stuck for ~10s, then it shows the result and continues to use 100% of a core and becomes unresponsive.

To reproduce:

(ql:quickload :dexador)

(dexador:get "https://services.nvd.nist.gov/rest/json/cves/2.0?keywordSearch=Microsoft")

Maybe this is out of the current objectives of the project but its annoying having to restart Lem. And because the REPL is made to develop exploring, I don't want to be careful not to break it. If there is anything I can do to help I'd love to. Thanks!

What brings the performance hit is printing the data. This works fine:

(setf *res* (dexador:get "https://services.nvd.nist.gov/rest/json/cves/2.0?keywordSearch=Microsoft"))

Could this be similar to Emacs' performance problem with long single lines? And is it within the scope of the project to make it perform better with big text?
