Codex Computer Use Slammed: 20-Second Waits Per Click Make the Loop Unbearable
flowersslop · x · 2026-11-05
Developer flowersslop says he hates computer use in Codex — not because it fails, but because the screenshot→reason→click loop waits 20 seconds on the first move and again after every click, making it painfully inefficient. He always hits escape and asks the model to find another way.
