Slow terminal

[ghost]

Issue Type: Performance Issue

I have a system where I need to start an .exe file, it takes 61 ms to boot into the terminal, whereas in windows cmd it only takes 13 ms.

Test Terminal VSCode: http://prntscr.com/ple19s
Test Windows Cmd: http://prntscr.com/ple1m0

Sometimes it arrives almost 200 ms in the terminal VSCode.

Those are milliseconds, not seconds. Changing terminal.integrated.rendererType might help, but the additional slowness may be attributed to additional overhead of going via node or #74620

@Tyriar Sorry, it really is milliseconds. But it's still a performance problem, I'll take a look at what you mentioned.

Edit: @Tyriar I added this "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "dom", is 100% improved, thanks.
