Visual Studio Code high cpu
<p>So a Linux user developing Node.js may decide to use Visual Studio Code 1.1.1.</p>

<p>Once one has installed babel in the project, like 400 MiB of JavaScript, every time you save, vsc hogs one cpu core at 100% for 30 - 80 s. Any activity during this time is horribly slow, like typing or a saving a short file takes 6 s. I suppose vsc is scanning the file system for words to suggest.</p>

<ol>
<li>Can this be configured into a more usable state? <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/vMarch#_workbench" rel="nofollow">files.watcherExclude</a> does not help</li>
<li>How does one discern what vsc is using all that cpu for?</li>
<li>Is vsc not the right tool?</li>
<li>Is it this <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3998" rel="nofollow">bug: File watcher resulting in high CPU use on Mac/Linux for large folders #3998</a></li>
