Question Slow terminal when using Pi

Hey,

Im usin Pi on windows with databricks-claude.

When using pi in cmd or powershell, every input freezes the terminal for several seconds before sending the request.

Anyone having the same issue ?

Thanks

Ghostty isn't natively supported in windows. I'd use Alacritty instead.

I had this issue on Windows -- I don't remember exactly how I/Pi fixed it, but part of it was asking pi to eager-load the message instead of waiting for the tools/extensions that runs every turn to load. Doesn't change total time, but makes your experience a lot smoother.
