Cursor IDE users report significant slowdowns in agent features

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/cursor subreddit has reported significant slowdowns in the Cursor IDE's agent features, particularly agent tool call overhead and agent response times. The user noted that the delay between a tool call and the agent's next action can be between 5 to 15 seconds, even when using cloud agents. They also observed that Grok 4.7, even on its fast setting, feels slower than Claude Opus on a medium setting, leading them to question if their subscription tier is the cause of the performance degradation.
