VS Code version: Code 1.38.1 (b37e54c98e1a74ba89e03073e5a3761284e3ffb0, 2019-09-11T13:35:15.005Z)

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the slowdown with extension 0.48.0 in VS Code 1.38.1 on Windows, then trace the Java IntelliSense suggestion path. Done means suggestions remain available without the reported delay after continued use.
