Performance way worse than normal Chrome #139

I am running a basic WebGL example and the performance and in the Browser Preview is really slow compared to the performance in standalone Chrome. Is this issue known?

Browser Preview is using Chrome' screencasting API, so performance depend on the perf of that API. For now this is the only way to embed a Chrome instance inside VS Code, so that's what we work with.

So yes, it's sadly a known issue. See https://github.com/auchenberg/vscode-browser-preview/issues/21
