Description

After enabling the Continue plugin in VS Code, I noticed a significant performance degradation in Python inline suggestions. Normally, inline suggestions (e.g., for basic constructs like async def pass) appear almost instantly. However, with the Continue plugin enabled, it takes approximately 5 seconds for these suggestions to appear.

This issue occurs consistently across different Python files and projects. Disabling the Continue plugin immediately resolves the slowdown, and inline suggestions return to their normal speed.

To reproduce

1. Install the Continue plugin in VS Code.
2. Open a Python file.
3. Start typing a basic Python construct, such as async def pass.
4. Observe the delay in inline suggestions.
