Description
Version: Apollo vscode latest version.
The apollo vscode extension eats up so much CPU resources that my mac fans keep on spinning on full power (Macbook Pro 13, 100% CPU usage). As soon as I disable the extension the system becomes quiet again. Here is my config.
```
module.exports = {
client: {
includes: ['**/graphql.ts', '**/*.graphql.ts'],
excludes: ['node_modules'],
service: {
localSchemaFile: './schema.json'
}
}
};
```
There is only roughly 3 files with around 10 gql queries in sum. It also takes really long after starting vscode for apollo to spin up and do autocomplete and show context info on mouse hover. I've tried using the extension in differen projects and I've never been able to make it work without these issues (CPU hogging and poor performance).
This makes apollo vscode unusable for me unfortunately.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the Apollo VS Code extension using the supplied config, three files, and roughly ten queries. Profile CPU during VS Code startup and while autocomplete or hover context loads; done means the extension no longer causes sustained high CPU usage and those features become responsive.
