VSCode becomes laggy after using it for some time (macOS Ventura)

Type: <b>Performance Issue</b> Hi! I upgraded to the macOS Ventura beta a few months ago (which was probably a mistake), and I've had problems with VSCode being laggy ever since. I primarily use VSCode to compile LaTeX, but I've run into this issue while using it with TypeScript before (so it doesn't seem to be related to a particular extension). The problem I'm experiencing is similar to what might happen if there is a memory leak. When I first open the app, everything is fine, and I experience no lag whatsoever. However, after writing code for maybe 15-30 minutes, I typing and highlighting code becomes pretty laggy. If I restart the application (quit and reopen), things return to normal. I'm sorry I can't provide much more information, and I doubt I'd be able to reproduce this problem on someone else's computer. VS Code version: Code 1.72.2 (d045a5eda657f4d7b676dedbfa7aab8207f8a075, 2022-10-12T22:16:30.254Z) OS version: Darwin x64 22.2.0 Modes: Sandboxed: No <details> <summary>System Info</summary> |Item|Value| |---|---| |CPUs|Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz (12 x 2600)| |GPU Status|2d_canvas: enabled<br>canvas_oop_rasterization: disabled_off<br>direct_rendering_display_compositor: disabled_off_ok<br>gpu_compositing: enabled<br>metal: disabled_off<br>multiple_raster_threads: enabled_on<br>opengl: enabled_on<br>rasterization: enabled<br>raw_draw: disabled_off_ok<br>skia_renderer: enabled_on<br>video_decode: enabled<br>video_encode: enabled<br>vulkan: disabled_o
