vscode slidev extension exhausts resources (memory, cpu) when running npm install

Describe the bug

When running npm install in one of my workspaces with a large number of dependencies, my memory quickly gets maxed out and my only solution is to kill vscode. I traced the issue to the slidev extension, which causes many rg (ripgrep) processes to be launched. Disabling the extension makes npm install work again.
