OpenClaw v2026.5.28: 2.9x Faster Cold Turns, 59% Smaller Tarball, Lighter Core Blog Post

Official blog: cold turn 9.8s to 3.4s (2.9x), warm turn 7.5s to 3.0s (2.5x), peak RSS 686MB to 635MB (7% lower), tarball 43.3MB to 17.8MB (59% smaller). Plugin dependency cones externalized from core.

Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that benchmarks OpenClaw agent cold and warm turn latency per release and alerts on regressions before they hit production

784.5k ▲

OpenClaw shipped 15 releases in 19 days during May 2026, with cold turn latency ranging from 9.8s (v2026.4.14) to 3.4s (v2026.5.27). Users have no automated way to detect when an update introduces a performance regression. Most find out after deploying to production and noticing sluggish agent responses. This tool runs standardized agent turn benchmarks against each new OpenClaw release, compares against a baseline, and flags regressions before users upgrade.
