Why does the AL Language Extension for VS Code needs longer to load the code warnings after a precise amount of files in the folder?

Hello guys

I notice a rather strange behavior. Currently when I change something in the code, it takes 5 seconds to load the code warnings (Yellow wavy lines). Usually it took something like 1 second.

So I started to investigate, if its something with my code that makes it take so long. But then I noticed, I can go back to my old 1 second loading time if, I delete 7 Random page files.

Why is that so?

Is there something like a Threshold and if you're above it, it generates the warnings in a different way?

Currently I have 85 files and a total of 53MB of Data.

I have the same question (0)

Have you installed any other extensions like AZ AL Dev Tools or AL Tool Box?

No, just the AL Language extension.

Hello,

Is this maybe related to this issue:

Slow performance after AL Language update · Issue #5768 · microsoft/AL · GitHub

Thanks

I found a solution. I needed to add something in the global "settings.json" file.

"al.incrementalBuild": true,

"al.compilationOptions": {

"delayAfterLastDocumentChange": 1000,

"parallel": true,

"maxDegreeOfParallelism": 16,

"delayAfterLastProjectChange": 1000,

},

"al.backgroundCodeAnalysis": true,

"al.enableCodeAnalysis": true,

"al.enableCodeActions": false,
