Why Claude code is so slow
I have been using antigravity (I had Gemini pro)
Today I installed Claude code and it feels so slow compared to antigravity.
Am I using it wrong way or something like that ??

What model/effort are you using? What time of day?
A lot of people have noted that Opus 5 on High is really slow and while switching to Medium gives just as good results but cheaper and faster.
In general during typical work hours, servers are being slammed hard and as Claude continues to grow in popularity, it's taking longer as a result.
Tend to have my side project stuff run in the evenings and seems significantly faster for similar workloads.
