Needs more RAM?
I've been doing work on a Raspberry Pi project, which got large enough that it took forever to get code nav back after an edit.
I switched to using VSCODE remote from a beefier machine with 32GB of memory (and an admittedly better processor). Editing response is now under 10 seconds. Sweetness and light! And even the compiles (which still take place on the Pi) run about 6x faster.
Nope, we are working on beefy machines. Problem are circular dependencies that trigger recompilation multiple times and macros sprinkle on top.
We’re refactoring it and get there eventually but without LSP and types (stack is dynamic) there is only so much that can be done.
