VSCode unresponsive during GitHub Pull Requests PR checkout (large number of files changed) #6952

Open

Description

@tboddyspargo

Type: Performance Issue

While this is probably not a super common situation, but it may highlight some areas of the extensions performance whose improvement could provide broad benefit.

When using the GitHub Pull Requests extension, review a PR that has changes to a large number of files (even if those files themselves are often only 1 line), VSCode can become unresponsive for a while.

Are there opportunities to lazily load the content to avoid locking the entire IDE? Are there opportunities to load the content in batches to avoid overloading the IDE with massive payloads and rendering blocks?
