Description

What version of Kimi Code CLI is running?

1.46.0

Which open platform/subscription were you using?

Kimi Code

Which model were you using?

Kimi-k2.6

What platform is your computer?

Linux 7.0.10-mnt-reform-arm64 aarch64 unknown

What issue are you seeing?

Previously Kimi was quite fast for a low-specced machine like the MNT Pocket Reform. Unfortunately, the newer version have gotten drastically slower. Part of the reason I chose Kimi is the CLI was faster with lower overhead than Claude.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Run Kimi-cli on a lower-specced machine

What is the expected behavior?

Kimi should go fast.

Research direction

The report names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing Kimi Code CLI 1.46.0 on a low-spec Linux aarch64 machine, then compare its speed with an earlier version to identify whether the regression is measurable and where it occurs.
