Running code in vscode using Julia 1.5 is very slow. Even when using Ctrl+F5 it seems that it is running as if it were debugging since at the end it prints in the terminal:
```julia
Julia debuggee finished. Press ENTER to close this terminal.
```
Is it something I have to consider in the lauch.json file or anywhere else to improve this?
Thaks in advance

Both `F5` and `Ctrl+F5` will run your code in debugger, hence it will run slow. I use `F1` → `Julia: Execute File` to run in normal mode.

Thanks! That saved my day.
Also I noticed that plotting does not work if I use Julia: Run File.
