   Have you tried updating to the latest version? The startup speed isn't slow at all

   The startup speed has been getting progressively slower with every update for me.

    15. This should be opened again, I'm getting 15 second startup times, restarts are just as slow. I'm using OpenCode 1.18.33 on NixOS.

    15s? I have an average of 30s.
    And using their client-server pattern does not seem to help, which is weird.

    How did you install opencode? I installed mine with mise and noticed sometimes it auto updates when I try to start it up. Just a mise setting I had - to always use the latest version. I also had a wrong config so it wasn't even showing me the update/progress bar. Might be worth checking out
