How to reduce VSCode memory usage
I've been using VSCode for quite a while now and one of the most annoying things that I have noticed i...

Hey there. VS Code dev here. A few comments:
search.exclude
reduces no memory at all.The best thing you can do to reduce memory consumption in VS Code is: install less extensions.
Hi, thanks for the heads-up, about the telemetry i know it does not affect memory consumption, but I mentioned I could include as a tip for other devs that don't like sharing data.
Great thing that search doesn't index I didn't know that! But removing folders for search greatly improves user experience during search.
For workspaces, I'll give it a go then. Thank you for the tip!!
is it possible to see what extensions uses how much memory, the easy way?
was looking but not found any , thank you
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i dont think so man ... we also write some shit code sometimes ... kkkkk dont be so silly kkkk

if everyone removed their telemetry - vscode would be less effective. it helps the VSC team counter issues with the product. i think.
if someone got an issue he will probably just report it in the GitHub issues page
Yeah, I do believe so. But most devs I know are quite savvy about sharing data, so I included this just to warn people that it does share and there's a way to disable it!
My tip would be: delete all useless or redundant extensions that you're not actually using 😄
Just implemented this on my laptop and memory consumption has gotten so much better! Even things like searching are significantly faster now. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you for this. This memory consumption issue has been a pain for me
It is a pain to us all. Glad I could help!
thank you

This is a great little collection of tips. Thanks for writing!
Was waiting for a long time for this kind of post! Amazing!
great topic! thanks
Great tips! Many thanks for sharing them. 🙏
Going further, if memory is still an issue, note that you can also run VS Code on gitpod.io's 60GB RAM servers for free.
we just need to add some script above to settings.json?
yes
thank you -500mb
The final script lacks of the telemetry one...
Shouldn't "file.exclude" reduce memory usage, since some files won't be loaded ?
