Slow startup #88

Closed thistlillo closed 1 year ago

I am using your extension version v2.5.2 on VSC 

Version: 1.68.1 (user setup)
Commit: 30d9c6cd9483b2cc586687151bcbcd635f373630
Date: 2022-06-14T12:48:58.283Z
Electron: 17.4.7
Chromium: 98.0.4758.141
Node.js: 16.13.0
V8: 9.8.177.13-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19043

The extension takes too long to load, up to 20 seconds. Is there anything I can check to speed it up or is this delay normal?

Some time ago, extension devs were asked to move the extension activation to onStartupFinished, instead of * (directly on start). I think this resulted in heavily distorted startup times, dependending on configuration and other extension. With the lastest version 2.6.0, I changed the activation back to * as the project dashboard doesn't require much resources to start up. So it should be a lot faster now.
