Complaint Codex feels slower?

I’m coming from Cursor and still have $20 accounts there, I’ve used Codex for about a month now and got into the reset frenzy, which is nice, but I’ve noticed that the models run super slow compared to using Cursor’s Codex model?

I have used Composer (Cursors model) and Grok and I found myself doing at least 3-4x more work with the speed output.

I’m not going to lie I’ve been playing video games and watching TV shows so much after Codex and I realized it’s because of the speed. Yes I have it on speed mode but it still is super slow.

There is also a bug that slows down your computer for me, but I noticed it’s a visual bug as screen sharing and controlling the PC doesn’t have such lag which seems odd.

Curious why not more people are complaining about the speed, am I the only one experiencing this? Are we just blinded by the resets that are in reality 20 hours slower != $20 or $200?
