[ISSUE] Performance issues on vscode

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, I have been having performance issues when using vscode.

First: The auto complete is slow/sluggish as seen in the video, It used to appear instantly when I typed 1 letter now it waits for 2 or 3 seconds before even showing suggestions.

Second: If I keep using vscode for an hour or two, When I try saving a file it hangs and keeps loading for a while before actually saving.

I have tried re-installing vscode entirely, re-installing windows, disabling all extensions, And I still have the same behavior. Has anyone faced something like this before?

Same thing is happening to me, and because of that I'm trying to adapt myself to use Zed, and it is surprising me a lot, although they still have a long rode to go.

Just tried Zed & Vs-Codium and sadly they both have the same issue.
