Just curious - are you running some kind of debugger or profiling software through VSCode?

Because VSCode is very fast to me, and I experience literally no input latency at all. And I have used Electron based code editors that felt slow to me. Like, Atom always felt very slow to me.

This isn't a vehement defense of Microsoft or VSCode - I wish the industry had consolidated on something else, but it's the way things are right now. You don't have to use it, there are plenty of alternatives.
