codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Slow thread switching / loading on Codex macOS desktop app (v26.429.30905, regression) [5 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue is likely related to a performance regression in version 26.429.30905 (2345) of the Codex App, and a potential workaround could be to clear the app's cache or wait for a future update that addresses the issue.

Guidance

• The delay in thread switching suggests a potential issue with the app's caching mechanism or resource loading, which may have been introduced in the latest update.
• To verify the issue, try switching between threads multiple times to see if the performance improves after the initial load, as the problem seems to be most noticeable when first opening the app.
• Consider reporting the issue to the Codex App support team, as it is a regression from previous versions and consistently occurs when switching threads.
• If possible, try downgrading to a previous version of the app to see if the issue persists, which could help confirm if the problem is specific to version 26.429.30905 (2345).

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the macOS desktop app and version 26.429.30905 (2345), and the exact cause of the performance regression is unclear without further information or debugging.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action would be to wait for a future update that addresses the performance issue or try clearing the app's cache to see if it improves the thread switching speed, as downgrading the app may not be a viable long-term solution.
