The article only makes the claim that they have made it faster that the previous technique. Most people say VSCode is faster than other electron editors like Atom. I am not sure who has said that VSCode is faster than Vim and it would be safe to assume that Vim would be faster.

Vim syntax highlighting is painfully slow on long lines, which makes it unusable as a Markdown or Tex editor unless you enable automatic explicit line breaking at 80 or 150 characters, instead of letting paragraphs wrap naturally.
