Possible performance improvement of more than 20% at multiple places

In what scenarios do you need this feature?

Hello team,
I would like to share a performance improvement idea.

Currently, Siyuan stores a formatted version of JSON in .sy files which results in many \t and \n characters being saved to the file. Following is a table showing number of extra characters per file (for some files in SiYuan User Guide)

Doing the same counting for all files under SiYuan User Guide and summing it up, we get

The "Notebooks which users will create (over years)" will generally be way larger than "SiYuan User Guide". So, the percentage of "tabs and new line" characters could go even upper.

Describe the optimal solution

Based on numbers shared above, I feel if we store raw JSON (without any formatting), then it would result in:

1. Smaller file/note size on the storage disk
2. Faster file/note save operation
3. Faster loading of notes
4. Reduced memory usage when loading the notes
5. Faster parsing of the notes/JSON when loading
6. Reduced network load when syncing files
7. Faster notes syncing

Most of the above improvement are linked to each other, and the primary source of all improvement is 1 (i.e. smaller file/note size on the storage disk)
The performance improvements sum up to a noticeable amount as the note/doc size increase. For example, for basic operation like opening a note, editing it, saving and syncing it will look like:

1. Load the note (i.e. read the .sy file from the disk)
   • 🚀 faster as smaller file/note size on the storage disk, and reduced memory usage as the \t and \n characters are not loaded
2. Parse the JSON
   • 🚀 faster as lesser number of characters to parse
3. Render
4. User edits the notes
5. Save the note
   • 🚀 faster as converting JavaScript object into JSON string will be quick and lesser amount of data is to be written on the disk
6. Sync to cloud
   • 🚀 faster as lesser amount of data to sync (due to smaller file size), and reduced network load too

I believe the expected improvement in most of the above operations is about 22% to 35% (based on the tables shown above in the previous section)

Thank You 🙏
