Loving Cursor across the board, except that the lag makes it unusable for me as well. Adding my anecdotal story as a way to ping this thread.
I’m on a 2024 m3 mac pro and am getting up to 20s lag clicking through to open files, hitting save (prompting the linter / prettier to run), waiting for the typescript checker to figure stuff out.
It’s bad to the point that sometimes I’ll type out a variable name. I can see the red underline appear on the first letter (because the first letter isn’t a valid variable). Then two seconds later it gets to the next letter… and when it finally reaches the end of the var name it realizes that the variable is legit and disappears. I tell it that it’s ok and that it’s doing its best… but it’s really not ok.
Love the AI integration, but the lag is so far behind that it isn’t recommending anything to me anymore as I code. I’m now switching back to VSCode and copilot for regular coding, then back to Cursor for explicit chat driven AI.
Thanks for the product. Please prioritize these performance issues.
