From my observation, the IDE-parts of VS Code are what put most computers to their knees. VS is very performant when acting like a regular text editor, even better than emacs in certain cases -_- But the moment the language-servers kick in and start analysing code and projects, the horror starts. It eats ram, cpu and grabs all attentions in can gain. Emacs can have those problems too, but there it's simpler to avoid those stuff. But to be fair, in VS Code to some degree you can deactivate it too it seems.
