I’ve experienced immense bloat in memory usage in the past 2 weeks. I’m not sure if that aligns to a version bump. I’m using a Macbook.
Cursor-related processes are taking up several gigabytes of memory. I am developing what I believe to be a fairly straightforward application with Typescript and Ruby (type checked with sorbet).
Hey, usually these issues are caused by extensions that you may be running, that are not working very efficiently.
Can you try checking the processes by opening the command palette and searching for “process explorer”, and seeing what in there is causing the large resource usage?
I am having this problem too. Cursor is taking up 17 GB of RAM, but process explorer only listing a couple of GBs. This shows up immediately after boot. Possibly related to the number of files in the workspace, but this is quite excessive.
Hello !
Same kind of issue here, especially the “tsserver[5.7.2]: semantic”, like @sloane, that is taking lots of memory.
I compared its consumption with VSCode, and the consumption is 900MB to 1500MB higher with Cursor (with the same files open), sometimes leading to the kill of process to due memory usage exceeding limit.
On the left, process explorer of VSCode and on the right the one of Cursor.
