This is awesome, it's a lot faster than VSCode. I can now use a low end machine ...

Likely placebo. There's made no changes that would make it faster.

In the main version of Vscode it will give me micro stutters when I use WSR+ vocola. _So far_ there's been none of that with vscodium, however this could be because as with this fresh install there's no plugins.

Same here! I cannot understand why it's a lot faster than VSCode, it's weird. I know have to try the plugins to see.

Is it possible the "slowness" was DNS lookups possibly for the reporting?

12G to use VS Code? LOL.

I gave up on vscode when it locked up on a 32gb machine. Seeing that there's analytics code inside clears that right up. I assumed the problems I had with electron based apps were the overhead of running a browser on top of the application. The real problem is that it's running 1990s omniture code. Thankfully they haven't added auto-play video to the search yet...

Regular VSCode takes about 100MB Ram on my Laptop. And I can't remember the last time it crashed on a 32GB machine. I think you're talking out of your a.

Probably a plugin issue, not a real VScode issue.
