Really? I'm daily driving JetBrains IDEs on Apple M3 and don't recognize any if this. Just give it a bunch of extra heap memory (eg 4g instead if 1gb) and it's fast!

I have given it up to 30GB of heap and i tried many different GC configs, i even ran it and my project on ramdisk.

The issue is related to using a monorepo with lots of code in different languages - openening single folders is fine. Ut i want to be able to work on dozens of services in a single window, all other editors manage just fine

I have a similar problem, large monorepo, things have become really bad lately to the point that the cursor is unresponsive. The only workaround I have found is opening each folder of the monorepo in its own IDE instance

Feel this so hard. The opposite is also true where you have a micro-service architecture and cursor faceplants in workspaces with multiple repos. We ended up building cortex.build partly because of this exact pain. Our context engine builds a git-aware dependency/provenance graph so it can stay local and only pull the relevant slice across a massive repo or dozens of smaller ones.
