Description
A user left some comments for Java Extension Pack and it's regarding language server performance.

There are two aspects to this problem:
- The long lag for language server to load bigger projects (~8500 files in this case)
- Progress update was not effective and the user gets the "stops responding" impression
While @yaohaizh is pushing for 1, @testforstephen could you please help revisit 2?
Here's the source of the comments:
