Speed
Yeah, it's quite slow. The reason for making this was mostly the UX, not the speed, but I did try to optimize it. I did some benchmarks, and it turns out the python-Levenshtein library for python is about 16 times faster than eddie (which is what this program uses) and strsim. It's written in C or C++, and pretty arcane C/C++ at that. I did what I could and added some multithreading, but on my 4-core laptop, it's still about 8 times slower than using python-Levenshtein single-threaded.
