[kikoshoung]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Chrome
• Local OS: macOS
• Remote OS: Fedora Linux
• Remote Architecture: amd64
• code-server --version: 4.95.2 with VSCode 1.95.2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://github.com/codespaces/templates.
2. Use React template.
3. When project is ready, execute ps -ef | grep bootstrap-fork or ps -ef | grep tsserver in terminal.
4. Refresh page.
5. Repeat Step 3, you will see the process number increased.

Expected

Reuse these processes after refreshing page.

Actual

I have a project that is very similar to codespace, so i use codespace to reproduce this issue. The increasing processes cost memery usage, after reaching the pod limit, it crashed!

If this is also broken in Codespaces then please report it upstream since it will need to be fixed in VS Code itself! https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
