Running 40+ Local Agents Turns Your Machine Into a Heater: Bottleneck Is I/O, Not Agent Design
rachittshah · x · 2026-10-15
Developer rachittshah shares a hands-on observation: running multiple agents in parallel is becoming more about I/O and compute management than agent design. He ran 40+ agents locally and watched his device turn into a heater — a reminder that local resource contention, not agent logic, is often the first bottleneck in multi-agent setups.
