This is a great insight, thanks!

I wonder if there also is a place we can view the activation events of an extension from within VS code. If there isn't, I guess I can always find that info out from the hopefully available repository of the extensions.

Hovering over the activation time will show the reason the extension is active. e.g. "Activated because you opened a javascript file", "Activated on start-up", etc.
