[microsoft/vscode] Enable Copilot super lag

GH-microsoft/vscode#300027 • Mar 07, 2026

### ROOT CAUSE The lag in VS Code after upgrading to version 1.110 when using Copilot is likely due to increased resource consumption by the AI feature. The system may be struggling to handle the additional processing load, compounded by limited free memory (only 4GB free out of 15.67GB). The upgrade might have introduced changes that affect resource management or interact negatively with other processes. ### CODE FIX 1. **Optimize VS Code Settings:** - **Increase Memory Allocation:** Adjust `memoryLimit` in `config.json` to allocate more memory to VS Code if necessary.
json
   {
     "processes": {
       "memoryLimit": "4g"
     }
   }
   

   - **Disable Unnecessary Features:** Temporarily disable extensions like Docker to free up resources.

2. **Adjust Copilot Settings:**
   - **Limit AI Processing:** Reduce the model's temperature or maxTokens in `settings.json`.
   
json
   {
     "copilot.temperature": 0.7,
     "copilot.maxTokens": 2048
   }
   

   - **Disable GPU Acceleration:** If using integrated graphics, disable GPU acceleration in VS Code settings.

3. **Update Software:**
   - Ensure VS Code and Copilot are updated to the latest versions to benefit from performance improvements.

4. **Monitor System Resources:**
   - Use tools like Task Manager to monitor CPU and memory usage while using Copilot to identify any resource hogs.

By implementing these changes, the user should experience improved performance when using Copilot in VS Code.
