UnverifiedA simple request in Claude Code may involve 15 to 20 steps, and each step re-reads the entire conversation, making this repeated re-reading the dominant source of token consumption71% similarUnverifiedIn the 20-task controlled experiment, consumption for Group A and Group B was exactly the same for the first 8 tasks, and the gap only began to appear from the 9th task onward, after sessions grew longer.69% similarUnverifiedThe agent used 19 headless runs over two days to determine that Claude Code's MEMORY.md only loads the first 200 lines or 25,000 bytes (whichever is smaller), truncating at line boundaries and appending a warning68% similarUnverifiedClaude Code的代码生成和调试任务单次请求的token消耗可能是普通对话的5-10倍67% similarUnverifiedMeasured at the 75th percentile, Claude.ai's initial load dropped from 3.1 seconds to 0.55 seconds, starting a new Claude Code session dropped from 0.8 seconds to 0.3 seconds, and loading a Claude co-work session dropped from nearly 3 seconds to under 1 second64% similar
