TypeScript Intellisense very slow with some projects

[AmrN]

• VSCode Version: 1.2.0
• OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04

I'm using angular2-webpack-starter, and after cloning the repo and doing an npm install typescript intellisense is extremely slow.
One thing I've noticed is that the exclude list paths in tsconfig.json are written like this:

{
  "exclude": [
    "./node_modules",
    "./typings/main.d.ts",
    "./typings/main"
  ]
}

But once I remove the dot slashes and restart VS Code things seem to be fixed and intellisense works fast:

{
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "typings/main.d.ts",
    "typings/main"
  ]
}

I've reported the issue PatrickJS/PatrickJS-starter#660 but it seems the problem lies with VS Code since I've tried Atom with its typescript plugin and it works properly with that starter by default.
