Massive slow down and auto compact problems

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.72.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

5.2 high/extrahigh/medium

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Its so slow that its essentially unusable, compounded massively by the fact that there is auto-compact. So, so often it would work for 4-5 minutes then magically decide to auto-compact, and then it would start AAAAALLL over again and work for 16-20 minutes or more as below. Even the simplest of tasks take 3-4 minutes.

• Context compacted

• Explored
  └ List ls -la
    Read AGENTS.md
    List lib

and we are STILL running --

• Explored
  └ Read 25-autobf-menu.sh

◦ Updating print event (28m 19s • esc to interrupt)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just use it on any large repo and have 1 or 2 requirements in your AGENTS.md

What is the expected behavior?

At least 3x faster and no auto-compact, any such feature should be easily disable-able, yet no such option exists in the / commands
