Oh, and I am seeing the same 15-ish second response times you were and I have Gigabit internet. So it wasn't just you.
If you have RDI you will see that it seems to work quite fast since it uses pre-established connections.
Simple IFS file uploads with SSH or FileZilla are also fast.
Pretty sure it's mainly the overhead of VS Code running a bunch of SSH threads on a low end CPU that's killing it for you.

Might be worth looking into the IBM Cloud Power Virtual Servers. Their minimum is .25 core which will probably perform a bit better. Although it?s about $380-500 per month range.

ya, that's what I'm thinking, Richard.
IBM doesn't allow me to get a dev system anymore so I moved to the cloud with a small CPU percentage.

There are lots of SSH commands being run and the SSH threads are slow.
I have found that RDI blows it away performance wise on a low-end processor.
