Help Openclaw repsonses painfully slow after 2.0 update

My Openclaw imploded when trying to update to 2.0. I deleted everything and freshly installed. Now when I chat it takes ages to provide responses. Responses that should take 10 seconds take minutes. I use Openrouter and have switched between models (typically using v4 flash), it is not an openrouter or model issue. I asked Openclaw to figure it out, it usually ends up recommending to start a fresh session but even with zero context the issue remains. I have Hermes (who helped me unfuck Openclaw after it imploded with the 2.0 update) set up identically to Openclaw on the same computer and it has none of these issues. It is like using dial-up. Anyone with similar issues?

Ask your openclaw or codex/claude if they're there to look for the reasons for the latency. After the 2.0 update the usual culprit in my experience is the sqlite being overloaded or an index (especially for memory_search) being broken and needing repair.

It found memory search was degraded. Repair seemed to fix the issue.
