VS Code launches instantly on my i7-4770 under Linux with XFCE. Same under Windows.

So do Slack and Spotify...

That's an 8 year old CPU! If you're having issues, the problem lies elsewhere not with Electron.

I don't know why this was downvoted. You see what you see. Maybe my experience with electron is tainted :D

I don't have any measurements, and I'm not really going to take any. It's just always felt slow. So I'll admit I should've perhaps been less prescriptive.

I think half the people in this thread are posting what they want to see and don't reflect reality.
