The more things change, the more they stay the same. I used to use VS Code on some very large C projects with 16GB of RAM, and my machine would grind to a halt while intellisense was indexing.

The indexer was probably clangd, not Code itself.

IME more likely cpptools (which comes with vscode) than clangd.

That's correct. Clangd doesn't churn nearly as hard as cpptools, but it's also not nearly as good as cpptools.
