code-server startup and load very slow

[VeAmas]

Hello! I successfully launched code-server in Ubuntu22.04 (virtual-machine), but the startup process was very slow (took about 2 minutes), and the resource loading on the page was also very slow.

amas@amas-virtual-machine:~/Git/code-server$ yarn watch
yarn run v1.22.21
$ VSCODE_DEV=1 VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= NODE_OPTIONS='--max_old_space_size=32384 --trace-warnings' ts-node ./ci/dev/watch.ts

It doesn't seem to be a memory issue. How can I speed up the page loading?

amas@amas-virtual-machine:~/.config/code-server$ free
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available

It looks like code-server is reaching 100% usage of the CPU. Does this mean that my CPU performance is a bottleneck?

[code-asher]

Development can be pretty resource-intensive, but CPU usage should only go up while it is compiling the first time. Do you need dev mode or can you run an optimized build instead?

[code-asher]

Unfortunately dev mode loads thousands of files in sequence due to how Microsoft architectured it so the slow load is unavoidable. A complete refactor upstream would be ideal.

It seems that there's nothing I can do about it. Thanks a lot
