Vscode: Extension Host is unresponsive/Extension Host is now responsive

[lyndonjohn]

Issue Type: Bug

"Extension Host is unresponsive" dialog occasionally pops up.

I don't know how to reproduce it, it just occasionally pops up. I tried disabling all my extensions, restart VS Code but it popping out.

Sometimes this dialog will show up:

VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.28.0-insider (a542a0afb5ff12a878dcf4b6a914f10d1318cb2e, 2018-09-14T05:12:35.372Z)

I think this has to do with something involving "Git" extensions like Git Lens or Git History.

1.28.1 seems to have solved the problem, right ? I don't have the error popping anymore
