Hi @A_M,

Thanks for flagging this! You’re right that the Agents Window currently routes every Git action through an agent rather than executing a deterministic Git command. This is slower than the Editor Window, which handles Git operations directly.

That said, I’m a bit surprised to hear it’s consuming significant CPU. Could you share what you’re observing that points to high CPU usage?

The next time this happens, would you mind running Cmd + Shift + P > Open Process Explorer and posting a screenshot of the History (CPU) tab? That would help us pinpoint what’s going on.

Thanks!
