Codex Killing Your SSD? Developer Ditches Local Indexing for IOPS
_xjdr · x · 2026-08-02
A developer highlighted a significant performance pain point when using Codex: the tool continuously scans the local hard drive to support features like replay, continuation, and full-text search (FTS).
This mechanism relies heavily on SQLite for frequent read/write operations, which severely degrades SSD lifespan and consumes IOPS. The author has taken measures to completely disable these local indexing behaviors to protect disk performance.
