[MCPE-99694] Chat lag (Singleplayer)

Summary: When running a specific command with @e via the chat window, the game freezes on you. Don't worry, if your patient enough, the lag will disappear after a few seconds.

How to reproduce:

Run a affected command with @e with lots of entities in the world

Observed Result: The screen freezes for a few seconds

Expected Result: The screen shouldn't freeze

Affected Commands (comment if there's more Commands affected):

Very bad: /effect, /execute, /replaceitem

Not as bad: /tp

It was not like this before 1.16.20, 1.16.21, or 1.16.40, and it doesn't happen on other devices.

@michael bramble that's not true that this is invalid, plus your NOT a moderator. It's a critical bug.

Of course it freezes for a second because the game is trying to process a bunch of things at once.

Just found out it now happens a lot if there's a massive repeating command block "library" in the world. If there's a chance it happens on other devices, just comment.

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you add it to the affected versions?

I don't believe this is still around, so this can be resolved for good.
