Very slow to open each file VSCodium: 1.83.0 takes 6+ seconds to just open up

[kantheerava]

I started using VSCodium since yesterday Oct 7, 2023.

It is too slow, takes 6+ seconds to just open up.

I have disabled all extensions

I used snap version to install on Ubuntu 20.04 i.e., (sudo snap install codium)

Machine has adequate resources (8 GB RAM & i5) & not any background services to hog -- confirmed using top

Can this be investigated?

Using "Startup Performance" in command palette

• VSCodium: 1.83.0 (57dae766d7d9084be351c47b43b26bf64acc9312)

• OS: linux(5.15.0-84-generic)

• VM(likelihood): 0%

• Initial Startup: true

• Has 0 other windows

• Screen Reader Active: false

• Empty Workspace: true

No good, all those three are too slow:

• window.loadUrl() => begin to require(workbench.desktop.main.js)
• workbench ready
• extensions registered

Can you try a non-snap version?

[kantheerava]

Thanks @Crystal-RainSlide for the patient listening.

https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.83.0.23283/codium_1.83.0.23283_amd64.deb

I will try with this and report back the stats.

Thank you, I'm done now.. the Debian package version is relatively better.

Though, Codium still lags compared to Sublime Text.... DPKG version is much much better.

I moved to Codium, to debug perl scripts in Codium and I'll get working on it.. Thank you @Crystal-RainSlide

I'm glad I found this @kantheerava because I thought I was going crazy that my machine was bogged down and realized it is vscodium! I am running ubuntu and the snap package too.
