Chat Performance Testing When to use - Before/after modifying chat rendering code (chatListRenderer.ts, chatInputPart.ts, markdown rendering) - When changing the streaming response pipeline or SSE processing - When modifying disposable/lifecycle patterns in chat components - To compare performance between two VS Code releases - In CI to gate PRs that touch chat UI code Quick start bash Run perf regression test (compares local dev build vs VS Code 1.115.0): npm run perf:chat -- --scenario text-only --runs 3 Run all scenarios with no baseline (just measure): npm run perf:chat -- --no-baseline --runs 3 Compare two local builds (apples-to-apples): npm run perf:chat -- --build /path/to/build-A --baseline-build /path/to/build-B --runs 5 Build a local production package and compare against a release: npm run perf:chat -- --production-build --baseline-build 1.115.0 --runs 5 Run memory leak check (10 messages in one session): npm run perf:chat-leak Run leak check with more messages for accuracy
