We have a Regal rule checking that a file is formatted, making the performance of the formatter more important than it normally might be.
Since I did some work on this in Regal recently, I was curious to see if this could be improved. Turned out to be a few bottlenecks that we could remove with great results. The Regal policies are possibly not representative for all kinds of Rego, and one thing that stands out is thay they have a lot of metadata annotations. Turned out that comment processing was the main bottleneck, so improving this meant a huge boost for formatting a typical Regal policy. The improvements here should make formatting of any file faster though.
