Claude Code Moves to Native Binary: Embedded bfs/ugrep Replace JS Glob/Grep, MCP Servers Start in Parallel, /resume 67% Faster on 40MB+ Sessions
Claude Code versions 2.1.113–2.1.117 (April 17–22) completed the shift from bundled JavaScript to a native CLI binary. The native binary embeds bfs (breadth-first find) and ugrep, replacing the JavaScript Glob and Grep implementations for faster file search. MCP servers now start in parallel instead of sequentially, saving seconds on every startup. The /resume command is 67% faster on large sessions (40MB+) with better handling of dead-fork entries. Cold start and memory footprint both noticeably improved. Apple Silicon ARM64 optimization pass is coming in a later release.
