Problem Statement
Currently, opening a long thread in Perplexity fetches and renders the entire chat history at once. This causes massive UI lag and eventually kills or freezes the browser tab due to memory overload.
Proposed Solution
The proposed feature is to implement lazy loading for the chat window. Additionally, when opening an existing chat, it should start at the very bottom (showing the latest message first) and load older messages bottom-to-top as you scroll up, similar to standard chat apps.
