On one of my applications, an Angular app with approximately 35k lines of code, the integrated Terminal is extremely slow to respond on my M1 Max Mac Studio.
I’m not talking a few seconds - the terminal will not display a cursor and allow me to issue commands for 5 minutes or more.
On other projects, it’s nearly instantaneous.
What can I do to resolve this?
This sounds like it could be related to a known issue where long-running composer/chat sessions can cause UI slowdown, including terminal performance
Try closing and restarting Cursor completely, then start a fresh composer session. This should probably help with the terminal responsiveness
If you’re still seeing delays after that, we can look at other potential causes like extensions or resource usage through Process Explorer (Command Palette > “Developer: Open Process Explorer”) as covered in our troubleshooting guide
