Crazy how fast Claude Code is evolving, every week there’s something new to learn, and it just keeps getting better.




Nothing crazy about it, judging by how much CPU and memory it uses. Now, if it managed to grow features without bringing my M4 Mac with 64GB of ram to a crawl... that's be magic.

My m1 macbook pro works fine with +10 claude code sessions open at the same time (iTerm2). Are you using a terminal with a memory leak perhaps?

reply


I'm using iterm2. Memory leak and cpu problems are very well documented in the github issues.

I have home server (cost around $150) with 16 GB RAM also running Claude Code fine.

How are you managing 10 parallel agents??

reply


I use Windows Terminal. Rename tab.

My current project I have a top level chat , then one chat in each of the four component sub directories.

I have a second terminal with QA-feature

So 10 tabs total . Plus I have one to run occasional commands real quick (like docker ps).

I’m using qwen.

reply


That's a lot of cognitive load to manage especially with how fast CC has become, do you review the output at all?

reply


The users review the output

reply


sorry I'm not actively working on 10 at the time, but they are in memory and kept open for when I continue working on them. I'm only actively using 2 or 3 at the same time.

reply


Huh, Claude Code barely uses any system ressources. Are you sure it's Claude Code and not some Electron app that hasn't been updated for Tahoe?

reply


Claude doesn't do much of anything on the local machine. I run it on a Macbook Air and a piddly 2vCPU 4GB VPS. Works fine.

reply


CC uses very little system resources.
