Reproduction steps

I'm experiencing an in increase in frequency of zed beachballs -- can't pin down to specific repo but happens a ot when switching buffers/windows , file operations from outside of zed (e.g., copy a dir into project, add a package, etc.). It's gotten to the point where I'm contemplating switching to a different editor despite being a huge fan of Zed (pro plan user). Has anybody else experiencing similar issues with zed regressing in stability and performance? Frankly, with claude code, I don't use any of the AI features and which there's be more focus on the editor itself. I liked it better 6 mo ago.

Current vs. Expected behavior

no hangs, great performance like it used to be
