Since updating to version 0.49, Cursor’s UI has become very laggy. When I switch between two Cursor windows, the one I switch to shows a light green loading bar for about a second and then freezes for 1–3 seconds before it becomes usable again. It also freezes occasionally while I’m typing a query. I can’t reliably reproduce the issue, but these freezes happen randomly. None of this happened in version 0.48.9.
In short, switching between two open Cursor windows causes a 1–3 second freeze, which didn’t happen in the previous version.
Another scenario where it freezes for 2 - 3 seconds.
