Extension activation time is really high

[Philip-Trettner]

With the new "Show Running Extensions" feature I noticed that this extension has an abnormally high start-up time. Most extensions start in 30-100ms, this one in 700+ (tested it multiple times).

Is there an easy way to fix this?

• Extension Name: shader
• Extension Version: 1.1.2
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.16299
• VSCode version: 1.19.0

		"activateCallTime": 0,
		"activateResolvedTime": 12,
		"activationEvent": "onLanguage:glsl"
	}
}

The activation function should only register HLSL provider, so it shouldn't take that long (I assume activateResolvedTime: 12ms is that call)

What is bothering me is "codeLoadingTime": 731ms. I wonder if it comes from the unnecessary packages in node_modules

Same here, 1 second to load it.
And worse, it runs every time at startup.

{
	"messages": [],
	"activationTimes": {
		"codeLoadingTime": 936,
		"activateCallTime": 1,
		"activateResolvedTime": 27,
		"activationReason": {
			"startup": true,
			"extensionId": {
				"value": "CADENAS.vscode-glsllint",
				"_lower": "cadenas.vscode-glsllint"
			},
			"activationEvent": "*"
		}
	},
	"runtimeErrors": []
}
