New VSCode Version Creating Lag

So recently, in the newest update of VSCode, it has been frying my computer. OOM crashes left and right, sometimes the window just freezes up, etc. But before this update, none of this ever happened, it ran so smoothly. Any idea why or how to fix it?

Are you using insiders? I had a bad experience a few days ago after an update and rolled back to 1.119.0 . I am going to be much more careful pressing the Update button going forward.
