Yep. For some reason, suddenly, vscode became painfully slow on my decently spec'd machine; 3 to 7 seconds per keystroke just to analyse the file to show intellisense tooltips.

Yes, that was in seconds per keystroke.

The irony is that I moved from neovim to vscode because setting up intellisense in (neo)vim was always a hassle and never worked quite well. Pylance seemed too attractive not to give it a spin.

Now the lag has as mysteriously diminished, but still vscode is very far from being as snappy as (n)vim.
