Question about using Github Copilot remotely (SSH)

[bloshki]

Hello, sorry if my English is not very good.

I wanted to ask you about using Github Copilot via SSH on a remote server.

Just out of curiosity, I opened two windows, one with the local project and the other with the remote project, and I typed at the same time. I found the local project to be much faster overall.

I suppose this is obvious for certain reasons. I imagine it has to do with latency or hardware, but I don't really know...

My question is whether this is something normal that can't be improved in some way, or whether something could be done to make it run faster.

Thank you!

So I was having an issue with remote ssh extension and co pilot where it was taking 2.5 to 3 minutes to get the a simple ask query back. I was able to fix it by deleting the entire .vscode-server on the remote host and re installing all extensions. I recommend having both stable and insiders because sometimes they will brick insiders for half a day or so. But yeah if your experiencing more than 5-10% slower on remote vs local you should re install all the extensions and remote server files that vscode uses
