Description
There have been reports of poor performance when working workspaces containing large numbers (>100s) of MATLAB files. Specifically, this appears to be impacting the code outline and code navigation.
Workaround: Reducing the size of your active workspace should alleviate these performance issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the slowdown in a VS Code workspace containing hundreds of MATLAB files, focusing on the code outline and code navigation. Trace the extension paths handling those features and identify where workspace size causes the delay. Done means those features remain responsive in a comparably large workspace, with a regression check for the reported scenario.
