purely for speed i used to use sublimetext but got real annoyed for buy now messages.. but it shows performance is very important feature.. if i had a choice between vscode as it's now vs soemthing as fast as sublime but with all vscode stuff, definitely going for faster one.

And have you considered buying it?
i bought sublimetext like 10 years ago. can't remember exactly. the license is still usable til now.
