openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: openclaw onboard take too long [6 comments, 7 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by investigating performance changes in the openclaw 2026.4.24 update.

Guidance

• Review the openclaw 2026.4.24 release notes for any performance-related changes or optimizations that might be causing the slowdown.
• Compare the system resource utilization (e.g., CPU, memory, disk I/O) during the onboard process between the previous version and the current version to identify any bottlenecks.
• Consider testing the onboard process on a different machine or environment to determine if the issue is specific to the Mac Mini M4 or a more general problem.
• Check for any openclaw configuration options or environment variables that might be contributing to the performance issue.

Notes

The lack of information about the previous openclaw version and the specific steps that are taking longer makes it challenging to provide a more targeted solution. Additionally, the absence of logs, screenshots, or other evidence limits the ability to diagnose the issue accurately.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, it's reasonable to try to mitigate the issue by adjusting openclaw configuration or environment variables, or by testing on a different environment, rather than waiting for a potential fix in a future version.
