What happened?

Hi Gemini CLI Team,

I’m facing a serious performance issue with the CLI—it has been working very slowly lately, with noticeable delays in response time and execution. This is affecting my productivity and workflow significantly.

Please look into this issue and let me know if there’s a fix or any steps I can take to improve performance.

Thanks.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the Gemini CLI to respond quickly and execute commands smoothly without delays, providing fast and efficient performance suitable for regular development workflows.

TL;DR

The performance issue with the Gemini CLI may be resolved by investigating and optimizing the underlying system or network resources, or by checking for any updates or configuration changes.

Guidance

  • Run the /about command in the Gemini CLI to gather more information about the client and its environment, which may help identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement.
  • Check the system and network resources (e.g., CPU usage, memory, network latency) to ensure they are not causing the performance issues.
  • Consider reaching out to the Gemini CLI team with the output of the /about command and any additional relevant information to help them better understand and address the issue.
  • Review any recent changes to the system, network, or Gemini CLI configuration to see if they may be contributing to the performance issues.

Notes

The root cause of the performance issue is unclear, and more information is needed to provide a definitive solution. The guidance provided is intended to help gather more information and potentially identify areas for improvement.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue is likely related to system or network resources, and investigating these areas may help improve performance.
