Hello,

I noticed that Cursor consumes a HUGE part of my pc, it consumes 10 GB of ram, 40% of CPU, 100% of my NvME SSD.  
I wanted to know how to fix this.

Hey, this issue might be related to extensions. First, check the processes running in Cursor by opening the `Process Explorer`. If you still can’t identify the problem, try booting in safe mode using: `cursor --disable-extensions`.
