Has something changed in the past couple days to make dev.lemmy.ml a memory hog? There was never a performance issue in the past months, but now it’s as fat as pleroma. I cannot use pleroma because of it’s absurd amount of RAM consumption.
If this doesn’t improve, does anyone know of a client app that would enable users to avoid the web app?
That one doesn’t help me too much, cause it just shows the ram usage, and not the snapshot of what the site is using.
My guess is that with single-page web apps, that for some reason chrome is not “garbage collecting” things like images, strings, etc, so a long running tab just builds as you use it more. But I can’t be sure.
It’s reproducable. I did a fresh launch and opened 3 tabs all on lemmy.ml. Performance was fine. Then I logged in and same story. The mouse struggled to move as the drive hammered away for a disruptive ~30 or so seconds. The tab that I logged through is using 123mb. The other two tabs are ~35mb.
Hrm I can’t reproduce. Browser plug-ins?
