My employer hosts one of the largest Ruby on Rails apps in the world. I've noticed that Claude Code takes a long time to grep for what it needs. Cursor is much better at this (probably because of local project indexing). Due to this, I favor Cursor over CC in my day to day workflows. In smaller code bases, both are pretty fast.

for projects of any non-trivial size, you should have a (local) MCP server that wraps/bridges some LSP over the local repo, so that when the LLM needs to find some identifier X, or callers, or implementations, or etc., it can ask the LSP directly rather than needing to do a grep or whatever
