Somewhat related, I Found cursor/VS was slowing to the point of being unusable. Turning on privacy mode helped, but the main culprit was extremely verbose logging. Running `fatrace -c --command=cursor` discovered the issue.

The disk in question was an HDD and the problem disappeared (or is better hidden) after symlinking the log dir to an SSD.

As for code itself, I've never had an issue with slowness. If anything it's the verbosity of wanting to explain itself and excess logging in the code it creates.
