Re: VSC Speed

If you're using a low-end processor with only .05 core it will be slow. There are lots of SSH commands being run and the SSH threads are slow.

I have found that RDI blows it away performance wise on a low-end processor.

I've not seen any such issues, Brad. In fact, I'm using Code for i instead of RDi for most of my work now because it is so much faster - like you, I am also using conventional source files.

Just wondering if anyone else notices the speed of Visual Studio Code seems

Is this a setting that can be modified, or is there a huge difference if
I'm using Source PF members vs IFS for source?
