Slow execution of any terminal command initiated by LLM

Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

I can observe very slow execution of virtually any terminal command that is executed by LLM inside chat. The problem doesn’t appear if I try manually execute command inside cursor terminal or any other dedicated terminal. All network logs complete in the range of milliseconds.

Steps to Reproduce

There wasn’t any specific change that was applied to introduce this.

Expected Behavior

AI assisted commands should execute at roughly the same time of manual execution.

The bug was not present in at least one version from the last two weeks, but it has reappeared and is occurring consistently since then.

Issue was resolved after I installed Cursor v1.5. Then got popup with update, updated to:
Version: 1.6.42

AI assisted terminal commands were running as they normally should. After 30-40 minutes I have the same problem again.

And for me it’s so slow… Downgrade to 1.5 version solved this problem for me

Downgrade to 1.5.11 version also worked for me. Mac os

Hello, any update?

Can you tell me how can I log information for you? Or you already know what you are fixing? I observed that things start to slow down immediately after I switch the working folder. I fresh installed multiple times Cursor. I was able to run every single time commands (initiated by llm) without any slowness, just as I would manually do this before I switch to any folder. Right after I switch workspace (new chat for llm), commands start to execute slowly. Currently have:
