Is >5 min startup considered slow?

General Usage Performance

I personally have experienced slow performance with VSCode as well.

Potential issues

  • .julia/ directory is hosted on a network drive with poor latency (slow).
  • Code tree being used is stored on a network mount with poor latency (slow).
    • Apparently Windows’ file system exacerbates this issue significantly.
    • Precompilation, Julia initialization, and pkg> repl can all significantly be affected.
  • You appear to have a fair amount of complex packages in your environment.
    • I’ve seen this affect VSCode startup time.
    • Definitively bogs down indexing system.
