When visiting Changelog · Cursor ,
CPU, memory, and GPU usage suddenly spike, causing the computer to freeze for several minutes.
This issue doesn’t just happen on my machine—it’s been confirmed by others as well.
What seems to be happening
At first, it looked suspiciously like a coin mining page because of the extreme resource consumption.
But the real cause appears to be the site’s design:
loading countless patch notes, videos, and images all at once on a single page.
So it’s not crypto mining—it’s simply a lack of web performance optimization.
Why this is a serious problem
-
It’s more than just inconvenient—
for people using Cursor for work, this results in severe performance degradation. -
Basic optimizations like:
-
splitting content into multiple pages,
-
lazy loading,
-
or adding search/filter functions
are completely missing.
-
-
I already reported this issue, but months have passed with no improvement.
This makes users naturally question: “Does this company really have the technical capability it claims?”
To the community
-
Are you experiencing the same issue?
-
Why hasn’t the Cursor team addressed such a fundamental problem?
-
Should we raise our voices together to push for improvements?
If Cursor wants to be taken seriously as an AI development tool, fixing such a basic web performance issue should be a top priority.
at first I thought it was my previous laptop, but even now that I bought a new one, with 32gb of RAM, still hangs and totally freezes
