Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

This is a known performance regression in the git diff layer. A batch of performance improvements shipped on April 25th — your build (3.2.11, dated April 24th) just missed them.

Could you update to the latest version? You can do this via Cursor Settings > Application > Attempt Update (or Cmd+Shift+P > “Attempt Update”). The newer builds include several fixes that specifically target diff view loading speed.

If the issue persists after updating, please let me know along with the new version number and I’ll dig deeper.
