@marcelhekking can you provide information from our issue template? E.g. are you running Jedi or the language server? How about a linter like Pylint across a lot of opened or modified files? Unfortunately that template you found is geared towards VS Code itself and not the Python extension so we need different information.

Hi Brett, thanx for your reply. I am running the language server and it happens only at start-up. Although I have to wait quite a long time at start up for the extension to load, after that all is normal. So not such a big issue altogether. Thank you for developing this extension!

Ah, OK. Yeah, the CPU load at start-up is a known problem because the language server is indexing your code. We are working on ways to fix that. This is covered by a couple of issues including microsoft/python-language-server#495 .
