```julia
using Plots
pyplot()
@time heatmap(rand(1,1))
@time heatmap(rand(10,10))
@time heatmap(rand(100,100))
@time heatmap(rand(1000,1000))

```

Each takes up to a handful of milliseconds to run, but the 1k x 1k grid simply won’t render in the VS Code plot pane after minutes waiting.

I can get the image by suppressing with `;` and using `savefig`, but I’d like to view in the plot pane as well.
