Suggestion for minor technical improvement:

As far as I can tell from reading the code, this change seems to reload the entire state. The data model supports having lists multiple lists by working dir, so perhaps rather than completely reloading state, just load the state for the new dir if it doesn't already exist in memory, to optimize loading? Then the new file is only loaded the first time you switch to a new directory.

Having said that, the harpoon file is so small that reading it in when changing tab or window is not a real problem. I don't experience any delays when using this branch, i.e. changing tabs is instantaneous.

I'm inclined to leave it reloading from the disk completely. Reading from a file is fast enough the user shouldn't ever notice it, so it seems like a fairly negligible performance cost when considering what it would take to properly store all directory states in memory.

One big issue I could see with caching directory states in memory is garbage collection. When do we remove a directory's state from memory? Keeping them indefinitely is asking for memory leaks (albeit small) for anyone who a long running neovim instance when working with all their projects. It's also not obvious to me what a good heuristic would be to clear them out from memory (only keep 10..?, keep for a time..?).

Ultimately, I don't see the potential performance gains being worth complicating the state management logic further.
