Visual mode lag on evil-next-line when 'jk' used as escape sequence

[cmlaverdiere]

When evil-escape is on, with 'jk' as the escape sequence, there is a noticeable lag (about a quarter second) when moving down a line in visual mode with 'j'. This doesn't happen when I switch the sequence to 'fd'.

@syl20bnr this also affects evil-magit, see the above reference for reference ;p

This is a limitation of the implementation, there is nothing I can do to prevent this.
But it should normally happen only to the first pressed j when you press it multiple time like jjjjj or you let the key pressed. Is this correct ?

@syl20bnr no, it breaks at the first one

Can be fixed with
(setq evil-escape-excluded-states '(normal visual multiedit emacs motion))
