The jump from using 2Gb to 800Mb is just disabling telemetry in VS Code server. What the hell!?!

Try Zed. It takes a little getting used to and some config to calm the language servers usage (it downloads some automatically). After that, it's super responsive and powerful out of the box.

I've replaced VSCodium with zed on most of my projects.

There's AI integration baked in, but you never have to touch it or it never interferes with your workflow.
