Discussion on: Reducing VSCode Memory Consumption

[João Moreno]

Hey there. VS Code dev here. A few comments:

• Disabling telemetry does absolutely nothing to reduce memory.
• There is no search indexing at all. We use ripgrep to provide fast search. Adding stuff to search.exclude reduces no memory at all.
• Creating workspaces is actually allocating more memory than simply opening folders.

The best thing you can do to reduce memory consumption in VS Code is: install less extensions.

is it possible to see what extensions uses how much memory, the easy way?
was looking but not found any , thank you

Hi, thanks for the heads-up, about the telemetry i know it does not affect memory consumption, but I mentioned I could include as a tip for other devs that don't like sharing data.
Great thing that search doesn't index I didn't know that! But removing folders for search greatly improves user experience during search.
For workspaces, I'll give it a go then. Thank you for the tip!!
