Actual Behavior

When opening an existing saved sketch/file in the p5.js Web Editor, the editor lags for about one second to load the file contents. The delay is noticeable and interrupts the workflow.

Expected Behavior

The saved sketches should be displayed almost instantly (or with minimal delay).

Steps to reproduce

Steps:

  1. Open the p5.js Web Editor.
  2. Click on File > Open
  3. Observe the lag in displaying the sketch contents.
