What does VS Code beat in speed and resource usage? Be fair and compare it to other software with only colourization, Git support and extension support.

JS can get close to C++ in speed but the same program in JS will always need more memory.

I doubt that. C++ programs have always tons and tons of memory leaks.

Which you can fix if you're competent. If we're looking at bad programs, JS programs are famous for importing 15MB+ of code for simple functions.
