Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like this is a regression of the issue that was already fixed in version 1.7.33, so I’d like to collect some diagnostic information to help the engineering team investigate:

Could you share:

  • A screen recording that shows the slowdown (comparing manual terminal commands vs commands triggered by the LLM)
  • Request IDs from the slow commands
  • Whether the slowdown starts right away or only after switching workspaces (you mentioned this correlation in the original report)
  • Process diagnostics: CMD+Shift+P → “Developer: Open Process Explorer” and a screenshot while a slow command is running

Also, does downgrading to version 2.0.x help, or does the issue still appear in other recent versions?

This information will help the team understand whether this is the same bug or a different root cause.

Downgrading to 2.0.x didn’t help

Manual commands in terminal are working as intended
