This is ridiculous. I've been focusing on performance recently, and I noticed that this thing (Show Options) in macOS Tahoe can significantly slow down file opening by at least 200 ms. This overhead occurs even when it is configured as an empty view, and the same behavior can be observed in many similar apps.

Since this feature is not heavily used, I plan to disable it by default and introduce an option for users to enable it when needed.

So I easily beat TextEdit by just removing "Show Options".

@MarkEditApp 😳 on my Mac, any file dialog takes *seconds* to show, including in MarkEdit. Didn’t realize this wasn’t a widespread problem!

Very nice to see you care about the app being super responsive, though. It does make a difference.
