Since vscode is electron its hard to tell if visible delays are due to electron, or the server, or on a timer (like our ctags).  Some things are pretty quick, like showing a popup with a symbol definition, if its that fast it might be ok although thats only a lookup, and in only a single file 200 line C++ example I'm using.  But some things are slow, like highlighting, which can take about a second or two, that may be a timer or simply thats how long the server takes to do a proper compiler anaylsis of the syntax and semantics and respond.  Either way its too slow for in-typing use if synchronous.  

Of course I'm running it on a medium speed machine, worth a try on your Rpi.

But none of this is relevant to using libreadtags which seems a fine idea.
