Optimize Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) IDE performance: indexing speed, Cascade responsiveness, and memory usage. Use when Windsurf is slow, indexing takes too long, Cascade times out, or the IDE uses too much memory. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf slow", "windsurf performance", "optimize windsurf", "windsurf memory", "cascade slow", "indexing slow".

# Windsurf Performance Tuning
## Overview
Optimize Windsurf's indexing engine, Cascade context building, Supercomplete latency, and overall IDE responsiveness. Most performance issues stem from indexing too many files or missing exclusion patterns.
## Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE installed
- Understanding of workspace indexing
- Access to Windsurf settings
Capture a repeatable latency or indexing symptom before changing exclusions, extensions, workspace scope, or editor settings.
## Tool Use
