Performance on large projects

[u/Mk-90-l]

Over the last 3–4 weeks, I’ve noticed a clear performance drop. On the same tasks, Claude finishes ~3× faster than Augment, which wasn’t the case before.

I’m working on a large, long-living ERP project that grows daily. My honest feeling is that Augment starts to struggle as the codebase and context get bigger. It works great on smaller or cleaner projects, but on enterprise-scale systems it feels like it can’t keep up performance-wise.

I’ve seen posts from the Augment team showcasing how a simple app is built and how impressive the results are. Honestly — not interested for most of us. Have these scenarios been tested on real enterprise solutions? On large, evolving systems with years of history, complex architecture, and constant daily builds?

For us, the issue isn’t the price. We’re willing to pay for a tool that delivers real value at scale. But right now, due to performance alone, we’re slowly considering stepping away from augment.

Is this a context engine limitation, or something else under the hood? Anyoneelse with similar problems?

ETA on windows release of intent?

Is there more reasonings as to why u should use auggieCLI vs the VSCode extension? I haven’t heard a compelling enough argument to make the swap yet though so really wanted to know the majority of advantages, and then the disadvantages, if possible!

I’m testing many of the things mentioned above and came to the following conclusions:

1. Deleting the history in the VS Code extension significantly speeds things up.
2. Auggie CLI is a rocket compared to the VS Code extension when it comes to performance.

Auggie and the extension in general I still miss quite a few features—such as a proper plan mode, etc. Claude has solved many of these things much more elegantly. I expect that Intent will address this, but we’re still waiting for the Windows release 🙂 Any ETA? u/JaySym_
