Research direction
Start by reproducing the typing delay with Vim enabled on the reported VS Code 1.87.0, extension 1.27.2, and Windows environment. Compare typing responsiveness with Vim disabled and capture enough profiling or diagnostic information to identify the responsible area. Done means normal typing no longer visibly lags when Vim is enabled.
