Zed is supposed to be a lightweigh and fast text editor. That was my hope when trying it. This is not the case. When I was editing some JS or HTML file I noticed that my laptop is quite warm. I checked all processes and there was some node process taking up 100% of one of CPUs. It was some language server running in the background in some non-efficient way. The problem with Zed is that its mission is to be "engineered for performance", while in the background they cut corners and run some heavy unoptimized stuff. I think this is not a right strategy, even cosindering it is still in beta.

The language server isn't part of Zed though is it? You should report the issues on their github page.

it is not, but as the title says: it all happens in the background, without you being aware what happens.

The good thing is that this can be turned off with this option: "enable_language_server": false
