Node debugger attaches to NPM much slower than to node with restart: true #95128

Steps to Reproduce:
Using the provided nodemon launch configuration with restart: true attaches very quickly
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "nodemon",
"runtimeExecutable": "nodemon",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/server.js",
"restart": true,
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
"skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"]
}On the other hand, if I launch a very similar configuration with NPM it will attach very slowly. (npm run debug is simply nodemon --inspect server.js).
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "nodemon npm",
"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
"runtimeArgs": ["run", "debug"],
"port": 9229,
"restart": true,
"skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
}In the case of my code (using ApolloServer), the difference is quite significant, as in the first case if I make a request it will hit the breakpoint, but in the second case it takes sometimes over 5 seconds and I can get many requests in before the breakpoint is triggered.
What is even more surprising, is that the console prints Debugger attached, yet I can issue multiple requests over a period of few seconds when the breakpoint is still not hit.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A
