Resource heavy on reply in Edge

[jossi]

Hi Guys,

 

not sure if this was reported previously by anyone, but I already stumbled upon this twice. Whenever I open reply box on a topic in Edge it starts going bonkers on CPU load and memory use. Below you can see it for yourself - it stays that way until I leave the page.

My battery suffers from that and I love reading the Forum on the go!.

Did anyone else experience something similar?

 

I'll try to see whether this also happens for me in Chrome.

It does spike resource usage for me but no higher than 15% of the CPU and 300mb of memory...It may be that your computer is moderately underpowered or edge has issues. I'll try it on edge now.

I've made all of my 4,000+ posts using Edge, and I've never experienced something like this.

 

But you know how windows is. nearly every install of windows is borked in one way or another.

Hmm edge causes absolutely no spike or extra usage in task manager...replying typing reacting browsing, no effect. Might be something else.

Hey Guys,

just tested it out in Chrome. Some new findings - it happens on LTT Official section of the Forum on single reviews - no need to even hit that reply box.

On Chrome it's not as memory heavy, but it's still eating up CPU like hell.

 

I'm on i5-6200U - it's not a performance beast, but I experienced something similar only on extremely ad-heavy websites.

After the Creators Update, displaying the contents of a PDF file on screen (Using Edge) uses 90% + of my CPU (i5-6500) and temps go crazy (Not to mention it takes so long to just display the content). And this happens every time I scroll. So your not the only one with these issues. I'm hoping it will be fixed in the next update.

I can't reproduce this in Edge on my Windows 10 VM, which is not currently running the creators' update, and neither can I reproduce it in Chrome running directly on Linux. I have an i7 6500U, which shouldn't be much more powerful than your i5.

CPU usage does increases a bit when scrolling, and gifs can also cause an increases in CPU usage, which might be what is causing your issues, but the site seems to work fine for me.

Maybe this is really tied to Creators' Update - I ran it on my Desktop which is on Insiders' Preview and I witnessed the same thing - strange.

Anyway, still huge fan of your work guys!

 

EDIT: Just been thinking a little bit more about it -> could it be that some JS doesn't recognize the OS/Browser which makes it start some endless looping? 

 

EDIT2: @colonel_mortis I just fired up a console and this is what I've found:

 

As you can see in the right corner, the number of errors is quite high - it's because they are being fired in an endless loop.

Those errors are being triggered by the YouTube player, so it is possible that there is a problem with the YouTube player, but it's not something that we can control.
