2. Install Checklist plugin
3. Go to Checklist plugin settings
4. Look at first section "General"
5. Look at "Tag name" setting

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes.

Expected result

• See all the tasks on my vault
• Use Checklist plugin without issues

Actual result

1. Obsidian freezes after 10-20 seconds, impeding for example to create new notes
2. Following error appears on console

3. 5-10 seconds later, Obsidian gives blank screen and execution with message "Paused before potential out-of-memory crash".
4. Vault gets completely locked and need to restart app

Additional information

As I mentioned at the beginning, one of my theories is that it has to do with the size of the vault, as I couldn't reproduce the issue on a Sandbox Vault with the same configuration of plugins (copied .obsidian folder), neither on a new vault with only the Checklist plugin installed.
