Describe the Bug
I am having frequent issues with cursor driving 100% disk activity, which results in high cpu usage, load avg and virtually unresponsive computer.
To the extent where I click mouse in a box to start typing and takes 10-20s before keypress registered.
This is on a powerful desktop with 16GB ram, issue only occurs if have cursor open.
Continues even when not interacting with cursor and no agents running.
Steps to Reproduce
Open cursor, especially if have 2 cursor windows open.
Expected Behavior
Less aggressive resource use
Operating System
