Typing is extremely slow

[erik-spaero]

Type: Performance Issue

Even as I am typing in this box, the text is lagging a half second behind what I am typing.

I recorded a trace, will upload that when I get a link to the issue on Github.

Did you try investigating by running the Start Extension Bisect command?

@gjsjohnmurray I updated my VSCode over the weekend and it's been much better for me! So maybe was just an issue with that version. Sorry for the noise!
