What's Wrong?

Since updating to the native build version of claude-code, i have massive input delay and performance impact while typing.

claude uses 100% of single CPU core while typing, leading to massive lags.

This behaviour can be observed in wezterm and Konsole.

As soon as the claude-code cli tries to update anything in the window, those spikes can be observed.

What Should Happen?

No input lag, no CPU spikes.

Displaying text in a terminal is a standard task. The fact that this has such a massive overhead and nobody catches this in QA is a bad sign for antropic.
