Language server performance issues can be difficult to diagnose because request timings are not shown alongside the corresponding JSON-RPC traffic. Annotate responses in the "LSP Logs / RPC Messages" view with their end-to-end duration, making it easier to identify slow methods, latency outliers, and cancellation behavior in the language server process launched by Zed. Capture timestamps at the transport boundary, correlate decoded request IDs separately by direction, preserve timing across cancellation, bound stale request tracking, and forward host-measured durations to remote clients. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and relxability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ##
