title: VS Code is consuming lot of memory. Why?
body: <p>I recently installed Visual Studio Code on my Ubuntu-20.04 (4GB RAM). It was consuming about 200-300 MB, without any extensions installed (which, acc. to me is too much).<br/>
  I installed Python extension from Microsoft. It seemed like a small extension in the beginning, but after installation, it is literally gobbling up all the memory (~1.5GB!).<br/>
  Please refer to the link below.<br/>
  Why is this happening? Is there any issue with the extension, or with VS Code itself?<br/>

  Thank you.</p>
