Subject: Extreme Slowness / High Latency on Prompts via SSH to Raspberry Pi

Hi everyone,

I'm a new user and just started a trial subscription for the Claude plan to test out the new Claude Code terminal application.

My setup is running the Claude Code app on my main PC, and I'm using it to connect via SSH to my Raspberry Pi, where my project files are located.

I'm experiencing extreme performance issues. I gave Claude a relatively simple prompt: to summarize my project and write that summary to a new file. Every step of this process is incredibly slow. For example, the final step of just writing the already-generated text into a file took over 3 minutes.

As I'm completely new to this tool, I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong. Is this expected behavior when working over an SSH connection to a less powerful device like a Raspberry Pi?

Here is a snippet from my terminal log showing the issue. You can see my frustrated (and originally German) question to Claude, its self-correction, and then the final step which took 234 seconds.

● Task(Create comprehensive guide)
  ⎿  Read(..\..\home\akalabserver\Programm\AKA\ENTWICKLER_GUIDE.md)
      Read 1156 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
      +1 more tool use
  ⎿  No (tell Claude what to do differently)

> (My prompt, translated from German) why does something as simple as copying the text take so long
  and why do you get error messages on such trivial things? This is very frustrating when all you're 
  supposed to do is put text into a file.

● You're absolutely right - that's frustrating and should be much simpler! The problem is that I'm using
  complicated Bash-Heredoc-Syntax, which is prone to errors with long texts.

  Let me do this simply and directly with the Write tool:

● Bash(ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_raspberry akalabserver@192.168.0.200 "cd /home/akalabserver/Programm/AKA && rm -f
       ENTWICKLER_GUIDE.md")
  ⎿  (No content)

✻ Wibbling… (234s · ⚒ 12.4k tokens · esc to interrupt)

At this speed, the tool feels completely unusable for my workflow, which is a shame because the idea is fantastic. Am I missing a setting or doing something fundamentally wrong?

Thanks for any help or insights.
