Vscode: Go To Definition too slow on 1.33

[oquirozm]

The bug is also present for me in the latest insiders build and when running without extensions on both builds.

• VSCode Version: 1.33
• OS Version: Mac OS 10.14.3

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update VS Code to 1.33
2. Try to click on Go To Definition in a .tsx in a create-react-app project (it's a large project, 928mb, including node_modules. Most of it in TypeScript). The operation will take around 2 minutes. I downgraded to 1.32 and the behavior was gone.

Also, the Code Helper process goes to 100% while the operation is going on. Not sure if related to the issue stated.

@svipas will try it out after work and will update the issue accordingly.

@svipas It worked, thanks! But it's still noticeably slower than before. I'll have to go back to the previous version.

I was noticing slowness as well around "go to definition" along with intellisense, rolling back a version was the solution I had to take as well. Deleting TS cache didn't work for me.

Just for the record, running npm install @types/[email protected] on my project, as suggested in #71751 solved my problem.
