Any way to let VSCode idle in background when closed

The only reason I am using sublime text instead of VSCode is that I often open up tiny files for a few seconds, and sublime opens instantly no matter what, while VSCode needs a second or so to start. I can however open new files when I have started it nearly instantly. Is there a workaround, so that I can let it idle in the background after I close the window, similar to skype?
