The more things change, the more they stay the same. I used to use VS Code on some very large C projects with 16GB of RAM, and my machine would grind to a halt while intellisense was indexing.
The indexer was probably clangd, not Code itself.
IME more likely cpptools (which comes with vscode) than clangd.
