File search (cmd-p) extremely slow in large workspaces #247945

Closed

Description

@pelmers-db
  • VS Code Version: master
  • OS Version: Linux remote host

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. open a workspace with 400k+ files (for example 5 copies of torvalds/linux in 1 workspace)
  2. cmd-p > start typing (eg "linux"), then stop typing
  3. observe busy indicator for upwards of 30 seconds in the search box

If I paste my search term directly into cmd-p, then the search takes < 5 seconds. So I think there's something going on with the typing handling which is slowing things down.

cc. @osortega - there is a PR in flight, and presumably, if it fixes the problem, that would be a big UX improvement for us.
