Extension causes JS heap allocation failure

[emroch]

Issue Type: Bug

I have an SSH Remote workspace with many SV files in it. When enabled, this extension begins acquiring memory and eventually faults when the JS heap size is exceeded. I only have 3 SV files open in the workspace, but there are hundreds if not thousands in the whole workspace. The extension did not crash until today, though I have not been monitoring its memory usage so it is possible it was always using a lot and only now is bumping up against the limit. The remote machine I am running on has 8GB ram and the extension host uses about 2.2GB before crashing.

Extension version: 0.13.2
VS Code version: Code 1.67.2 (c3511e6c69bb39013c4a4b7b9566ec1ca73fc4d5, 2022-05-17T18:20:57.384Z)

Hi @emroch have you tried adjusting the settings based on the recommendations section of the readme?

I'm seeing the same error. I have tried adjusting the settings based on the recommendations section. We need a way to increase the heap memory size to enable us to use this extension on very large designs.
