Extension has high CPU load

Open cwillinx opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

Type: Performance Issue

Open VSCode on MacOS 13.0

After the initialisation phase, a high CPU load remains, also when the IDE is idle. Having multiple instance of VSCode open multiplies the impact accordingly.

Help: Start Extension Bisect helped identify the Extension "Settings Sync" as the originator.

Extension version: 3.4.3 VS Code version: Code 1.73.0 (8fa188b2b301d36553cbc9ce1b0a146ccb93351f, 2022-11-01T15:38:50.881Z) OS version: Darwin x64 22.1.0 Modes: Sandboxed: No

I had the same experience. I used "Help: Start Extension Bisect" to find the culprit. I am not sure why this extension is causing 100% CPU usage, probably blocking one CPU core and forcing the fans to get crazy.

I can confirm this behaviour (+50% CPU usage on idle) for VSCodium through the Bisect method, too.

  • Darwin Kernel Version 20.6.0
  • VSCodium v1.72.2 and v1.73.1
  • Sync extension v3.4.3

This seems to be the original issue #1107.

Yeah I came here and found that it costs terrible cpu usage. By the way, the Extension Bisect is quite handy.

same here. Draining CPU usage over 150%

adamklepacz avatar Nov 17 '22 14:11 adamklepacz

Same here. 2 VS Code windows open. 400% CPU usage. Please fix it. Also important for our planet...

Already fixed but no one has published it yet.
