Description
Right after upgrading Visual Studio Code to the January 2019 release (version 1.31.0) the extension.runner.start command has become extremely slow all of a sudden. I mean that when running a very simple script it takes about 12 seconds to start running, when it used to be instant in earlier versions.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the interpreter because it happens in different languages (PHP, Node.js, Windows Batch...). The delay happens before actual execution (verified with script that prints current time). I'm suffering the issue in two different computers running Windows 10.

Research direction
Reproduce the delay using the extension.runner.start command in Visual Studio Code 1.31.0 on Windows 10 with a simple PHP, Node.js, or Windows Batch script. Verify that the delay occurs before the script prints its current time; done means identifying and fixing the startup delay without changing script execution behavior.
