Very slow extension activation time

[xshapira]

In the past few days, I have noticed a very slow activation time of Sourcery—1370ms.

Thanks a lot for reporting this. 👍 It's very slow indeed.

Can you give some info about your system?

• OS
• VSCode version

Does this lead to a noticeable delay or hanging? Or is this long activation time visible only on the "Running Extensions" tab?

• macOS Monterey 12.6.5
• VS Code Version: 1.79.2

I haven't seen any big slowdowns, but I'm sure it impacts some places.

+1 If you run Developer: Show Running Extensions in the VS Code command palette, Sourcery 1.4.0 is (by far) the longest loading VS Code extension. Mine is showing 8212 ms! 8.2 seconds. For comparison, the next slowest loading extension, Pylance is only 1135 ms. So 8x slower than the 2nd slowest extension.

How can we reduce the extension loading time? This is way too long of load time.

• macOS Monterey 12.6.4
• VS Code version: 1.79.2

Am looking into addressing this.

@cpoptic @xshapira could you please install the latest version (1.5.0) and check the activation time? Want to make sure we've addressed the issue.
