I'm using several languages and was looking for a solution to make some language/project specific setups for vs code. And this was promising. But after I tried it it seems like there is significant performance reduction. Sadly =( Maybe thing is, that I'm using mac, where docker is on virtual machine internally unlike native linux version. But maybe somebody know any other ways to create such kind of project templates with its own settings and extensions using just a configuration?

Could you share with what kind of projects you're seeing this signification performance drops? I'm on a mac too, building JS-heavy and Java projects and did not notice too much difference. I would be interested to know which kind of projects are not performing well with that setup.

I tried with Rust project initially and it was ok. But then tried it with react and laptop started to overheat. I checked in activity monitor that this was because of docker process, which used cpu heavily.
