Qgis extremely slow on averything - qgis

My Qgis is behaving terribly slow the last few months. Opening takes minutes, trying to switch between the layers panel and the browser panel takes minutes, selecting an arcgis featurelayer takes minutes, trying to add data takes minutes, closing takes minutes. Pretty much everything takes a long, long time.
I tried removing Qgis and all asociated files and re-installing it, but no luck. I tried a fresh profile: no luck.
What else can I do?

I also had this issue, especially with switching between Layers and Browser panel. I solved this with acitivating Fast Scan this directory option from the context menu in the Browser panel for all the hard drives I'm using.

VS code cursor unresponsive

I am having a hard time on VS code due to issues with the cursor. It keeps jumping around while I am typing and makes a mess of my codes. I have tried reloading the window and even restarting my system multiple times but its no help at all. I have also disabled my extensions to no avail.
Secondly, when I copy and paste my codes from one file to another, it all gets jumbled up and almost impossible to rectify as my cursor wont even let me type.
I would appreciate any help with this as I have struggled for months now with no success and this is my last resort. I look forward to your kind help. Thanks

Anyway to get rid of this view in VSCode IDE?

There's a little column to the right of your code window which shows all of your code at a huge glance. It's kinda handy to click to jump to a certain portion if you have a large file....ultimately, especially when I have 2 windows side by side, it takes up a lot of useful space. Anyways I can remove this? (Having a hard time researching it because I don't even know what it's called)
Okay...I tried some different search terms and found this article.

It's called "minimap".

Why do some websites take longer to load when clicking "view source"?

I'm trying to figure out how the sublime text community package list works over at http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/community
The page itself displays after about a second and seems fine to use. You can inspect element too, and that also works fine, the dev tools window opens up straight away.
But if you click "view source", it takes absolutely ages for the source code to display. I've tried this on lots of different browsers. Why is this?
The slowness is caused by the syntax highlighter. Chrome's view-source: attempts to highlight the whole file at once, which takes some time on a 1.5MB file.
Press Shift + Esc to show Chrome's Task Manager, and you will see that the CPU shoots up on "view source". If you wait a little longer, the "Page(s) Unresponsive" dialog will show up (as shown below).
This bug has been reported before at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=128293
The page is extremely large. It has a total size of 1,5MB so the source viewers have some troubles loading that.
There are about 35000 lines of source code in there, a pretty hefty HTML file I would say :)

Eclipse IDE is taking very long to open an error location

When an error happens while running a RCP-Project, Eclipse shows the location of the error in the Console view. You can click on the filename and Eclipse will immediately opened the file and put the cursor in the correct line.
Since a few days it takes my Eclipse installation very long to do that (several minutes).In the Progress view I see a "Searching" process running and after a long time the file will be opened.
Do you have any ideas what could be the cause of that long duration?
Or how I could find out what Eclipse is doing while taking so long?
===
Update:
Setting up a completely new workspace solved the problem. In the new workspace opening the error location works fine.
I'd still like to know what I could do in such a case to find out what Eclipse is working on (and taking so long for).
I'd imagine that a good jumping off point might be the class org.eclipse.ui.internal.console.FollowHyperlinkAction.
If you set a breakpoint in FollowHyperlinkAction.run(), you could walk down into IHyperlink.linkActivated() and see just what's going on.

Eclipse IDE is very slow after resuming Windows

Since a week or two, Eclipse becomes very slow after resuming Windows:
Scrolling becomes very slow: the scrollbar and line numbers scroll at a different speed than the text. Then I need to wait for the text to catch up.
Typing is very slow. I'd guess there's a 500ms delay
Running code is very slow. The unit tests for my current project typically take around 5 seconds. After resuming Windows, this is systematically over 20 seconds.
Opening or saving a sourcecode file takes longer (several seconds)
However, navigating menus doesn't seem to be slower than before.
Restarting Eclipse doesn't help, though I notice it starts up quicker than after a clean boot, which makes me believe it doesn't shut down completely.
Other Java apps don't appear to be slower.
In case the problem can't be found, is there some way I can force Eclipse to restart cleanly?
