Steps to reproduce

openclaw onboard, then go until you're asked to hatch (start setup).

Expected behavior

Should not be laggy, atleast show loader

Actual behavior

Should not be so laggy specifically, pressing Enter after every question has a 2 second lag, before the UI returns to normal

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by investigating and optimizing the performance of the openclaw command, specifically the onboard and tui processes.

Guidance

  • Investigate the openclaw command's performance by running it with verbose logging or debugging flags to identify potential bottlenecks.
  • Check the system's resource utilization (e.g., CPU, memory, disk I/O) while running the openclaw command to determine if resource constraints are contributing to the lag.
  • Consider updating the openclaw package to a newer version, if available, to see if the issue is resolved.
  • Review the openclaw configuration and settings to ensure that they are optimized for the system's hardware and software environment.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the underlying code or implementation.

Notes

The issue lacks detailed information about the system's configuration, logs, and error messages, which makes it challenging to provide a more specific solution. Further investigation and debugging are necessary to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action is to investigate and optimize the performance of the openclaw command, as the issue seems to be related to the command's execution and not a specific version or configuration.
