Yeah, I feel this. I'm not normally someone who notices these things, but on my 2019 MBP (the last Intel one), when using the iGPU, there's a perceptible sluggishness in VSCode that makes it fairly unpleasant to work in. Things get somewhat better if I force the discrete GPU, but that sucks power and really is only an option when plugged in.
I'm normally someone who gets 7 years or so out of a computer but I definitely am looking forward to replacing this with an M-series Air. :(
- TheRealDunkirk 3y agoI'm on the same kind of machine. My biggest problem with Code is that I can see the sluggishness when I open a file, and watch it render the syntax highlighting. I didn't know about this setting. Forcing the GPU "on" has made this go away. Now I can only detect a tiny bit of rendering in the minimap. I'm always plugged in while coding anyway, so I can leave it, but it seems like Code should be able to tell you're plugged in, and do this automatically.
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoDon’t know if you will see this, but uninstalling chrome has made my 2019 MBP way more pleasant in VS Code. See chromeisbad.com for details.
