Freeze everytime Windows 11

Bug Reports
1

Hi! I’ve been using Cursor for a year, and it’s my best ally every day. However, for the past 4-5 days, it has started to freeze every time I change the window focus. At first, I thought it was my PC, but it only happens with Cursor.

An example is the following:

I’m programming and switch to Chrome, then go back to Cursor and have to wait about 10 seconds until it unfreezes.

I cleared the cache, all my extensions and settings, reinstalled, and installed previous versions.

Even so, it keeps happening.

Currently:

  • Extensions: None
  • OS: Windows 11

On this video, i switch from Cursor to Chrome and viceversa and it freeze 3-4 seconds. This keeps getting worse, now taking around 30 seconds to load.

i was wondered what take so much memory and made some tool over cursor-chat-browser to visualize that - GitHub - dvv47/cursor-chat-browser: A web application for browsing and managing chat histories from the Cursor editor's AI chat feature. View, search, and export your AI conversations in various formats.
You can try it:

so as i understood this - it is a history for some tool calls
for example one of my 14mb database entity is web_search tool call that downloaded some pdf inside db:

        "rawArgs": "{\"search_term\": \"PyMesh2 vs PyMesh form_mesh alternative\", \"explanation\": \"Looking for information about the differences between PyMesh versions and how to replace form_mesh\"}",

another one is incredable size of json 15mb of text related to some code analysis:

Probably all of this is fine. But as any time cursour trying to work with this database with direct i/o operations to file its freezing a lot. So will be great to work with this database in RAM
And may be have some tools to clear old chat history
