In my game this Mod caused complete game stalls for a couple of seconds.
With stall I mean, the game froze, completely, for a few seconds.

This might either be a general problem of this mod, or a mod conflict of some sort (Food wise I have FU and CN More Farming: Revitalization + its FU Addon installed, as well as "
Food Spoil Bars")

I removed "Food Spoil Bars" first, but that didn't remove the stalls. I wouldn't rule out (as I said) that it might be a weird conflict.

I had 13 Fridges (mostly 56 spaces, one 130 space from FU and one 40 space fridge) - two 56 fridges where halve full - so I roughly have 500-600 food items.

It seems that if you move away from the fridges and to them again, the Food Descriptions are (re)initialised each time. Once I move away a certain distance (so the fridges are off-screen) and come back, it stalls again.

As soon as I removed "Improved Food Descriptions", the stalls where gone. It took me some hours to hunt this down - I removed everything but the fridges in my ship and lastly the fridges aswell, which caused the stall to disappear. Just like if I remove "Improved Food Descriptions" altogether

It feels like the mod just tries to load the relevant data for each food item, instead of either caching it.

It's a must have mod for me, but the fact that performance is getting this bad (its WAY worse than my huge FU wiring which automated generators, smelting, plant growth, etc) made me remove it for now.

Now I wouldn't expect "0" performance impact (because there is actual "work" to be done) but currently the mod just seems to be too inefficient when you have a lot of food items stored.

I tried searching for "Improved Food Descriptions" on Github to report this, but didn't find a repo, so I dropped this here.
