What's Wrong?

title says it all.
inferior and subpar compared to all previous versions. cant do 1 basic task without it freezing on terminal and the desktop claude code preview; I thoughts updates were meant to make products better, not regress them.

What Should Happen?

each update should be making the system faster and more dependable not the opposite,
