I'm just learning about agentic search so I'm a bit adrift.

One of my side projects is a full text index for pattern search, and I'm trying to understand how it might fit with that. You mention tool call overhead, but is that a significant part of the latency in the multi-turn scenario, or is it the coding agent being forced into a serial processing pattern?

hey sorryjust saw this. i do think its majority serial processing, BUT, parallel calling the same tools also gets issues that i honestly havent spent the time to dig into (something something locks and threading). all i know is ive been stuck in very very super slow/tool calls myself in Windsurf/other AI IDEs and that was a drag.
