Description

If you disable and enable tab completion several times in a row, the plugin starts consuming more than 100% of CPU and responds to actions with a big delay.

To reproduce

1. Use hotkey more than 10 times to enable/disable continue (command continue.toggleTabAutocompleteEnabled)

2. Watch the continue icon in the status bar, after 10-15 presses it starts to react slower and slower to key presses.

On the video you can see how I first enable and disable autocomplete 10 times (look in the bottom corner of VS window, there the continue icon becomes active or disabled).

After that with each press on a hotkey the plugin reacts slower and slower, also if you click on it with the mouse (time 0:31 on the video) it reacts with a big delay, CPU at this time is about 114%

Even if you do not press anything further, this behavior persists. The responsiveness of the plugin worsens with each hotkey press and does not recover over time.
