I found an additional program taking up 2.3GB of space. Upon investigation, I discovered that it was the “tssserver,” which comes from the “Cursor” component. After restarting my device, the memory usage dropped to around 800MB. I would like to know how to disable this program. Although it may be useful, for someone who doesn’t use it at all, it’s unacceptable for it to consume so much memory for no reason!
Hey, thanks for the report. Small correction - “tsserver” is the TypeScript Language Server, not voice input. It powers autocomplete, type checking, and code navigation for TypeScript/JavaScript files. Voice input is a separate feature.
High memory usage by tsserver is usually caused by:
- Large TypeScript/JavaScript projects
- Problematic extensions
- TypeScript configuration
For diagnostics, please:
- Open Process Explorer:
CMD/CTRL+Shift+P> Developer: Open Process Explorer - share a screenshot - Check extensions: Settings > Application > Experimental > enable “Extension Monitor”, then
CMD/CTRL+Shift+P> Developer: Open Extension Monitor - Share project info (size, number of TS/JS files)
Also include your Cursor version (Help > About Cursor > Copy) and OS.
