Research direction
Start by reproducing the report in VS Code 1.59.0 on Windows using the listed boot sequence, then inspect the extension's activation timing against the other installed extensions. The issue names no source file or test and gives no target activation time, so completion would require identifying the activation bottleneck and demonstrating a materially faster startup.
