I'm using NeoVim which might explain the difference, but VSCode is slow to boot and laggy when running on my Ubuntu 18 box. Nvim has never been either.
At work, on OSX, VSCode has been fine though. Still, I've never run into a situation where nvim is slower. And I use a good many plugins (deoplete, ALE, ctrlp, fzf, and 5 sets of language specific plugins).
