I'm connected to linux box w/ "remote - ssh" plugin - the killer feature of vscode. The slowdown though is on UI side of vscode.

i read through that bug. Looks like files.watcherExclude has a bug, b/c adding '/': true fixed it, even though i had it set up like this before (which should have taken care of bazel-: "files.watcherExclude": { "/.git": true, "/pycache/": true, "/mypy_cache/": true, "/bazel-": true, "vendor/": true, "/bin/": true } Thank you so much for the help Benjamin, /** worked like a charm to disable watcher.

For exclude patterns I typically recommend to use **, so for example **/pycache/** should also work.

That's what i'm using, github formatter killed : ` added: '/': true was: "files.watcherExclude": { "/.git": true, "/pycache/": true, "/mypy_cache/": true, "*/bazel-": true, "vendor/": true, "**/bin/": true } `
