13521 :: nimsuggest is a huge problem

  Hey all !

  I'm on windows and I'm constantly finding that nimsuggest eats a TON of cpu. Sometimes literally to the point where I cant render web pages. How do I remove nimsuggest?

  
  PS C:\Users\...\Desktop> .\find-nimsuggest.ps1
  Found the following nimsuggest process(es):
     
     Id ProcessName      CPU StartTime
     -- -----------      --- ---------

  If you're using the official Nim VSCode plugin it now uses nimlangserver to run nimsuggest. I just keep the Nim VSCode from installing nimlangserver. You can also uninstall nimble uninstall nimlangserver. Which is the easiest IMHO.

  If that doesn't work just delete nimsuggest from your Nim install (find it with something like Get-Command nimsuggest.exe | Select-Object Source).
