High CPU Usage & Frequent Crashes on MacBook Pro (M4 Max, 48GB RAM)

[duskat]

System Information:

Device: MacBook Pro 2024
Chip: Apple M4 Max
Memory: 48GB

Issue Description:

I’ve been experiencing severe performance issues with Cursor AI on my MacBook Pro M4 Max. The CPU usage spikes to nearly 100% (sometimes over 200%), and the application crashes every 3-5 minutes, making it extremely frustrating to use.

Even though my MacBook is new and has powerful hardware, Cursor AI struggles with basic operations, leading to constant app restarts.

Using the ARM version of the installation file, the default download is the Universal version.
