I see constant writes (every few seconds) to state.vscdb-journal without ANYTHING changing in Cursor itself - it was fixed for a month and so and it is happening again. I’m just sitting here and watching the Task manager. On top of that when that happens Cursor freezes for about 6 seconds (OR MORE !!!). It is similar to I see constant writes to state.vscdb-journal
Why can’t cursor detect that there are NO changes so it should not write like 30+MBytes every minute to it’s state file? And at least make it so it does NOT lock the whole IDE for 6 seconds every 1 minute! It’s basically unusable!
I’m experiencing the same issue. Cursor freezes for several seconds almost every time I open its window. This doesn’t seem to affect VS Code and appears specific to Cursor. During the freeze, opensnoop-bpfcc shows a series of sequential writes to /home/user/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb-journal.
There are like 3-4 updates since the report and it keeps doing it. I had to clear all the chat history for cursor to be semi-usable!
How complicated is NOT to write the whole history to the state database OVER AND OVER again every minute ?!? It is getting ridiculous!
After several chats, the whole Cursor could freeze for seconds when typing, switching tabs or even just scrolling. The same frequent writing behavior is observed.
It is much better now. There are small writes while focusing/de-focusing Cursor (did it few times just for a test) but they are currently unnoticeable while working.
