Check CPU Usage

jemmy

I saw the same thing today. I closed all windows and disabled the one extension I had, but this Orion process continued using 100% CPU

Anyone posting here should know that without steps to reproduce, your posts are not getting us anywhere nearer to the solution.

WonkoTheDane

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://app.clockify.me/tracker start a time counter
Open Activity Monitor (Mac)
Watch CPU usage for that "Orion Web Content" thread rise to around 100% (on a MacBook Air M1) - even when it is not the active tab (if that makes a difference)
Switching to compatibility mode does not help

Expected behavior:
CPU usage should stay around 2% - 5%, comparing with

Chrome for Mac Version 104.0.5112.79,
Safari Version 15.5 (17613.2.7.1.8)
earlier versions of Orion

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion Version 0.99.119-beta (WebKit 615.1.1)
MacBook Air M1 2020 (macOS Monterey 12.4 build 21F79)

WonkoTheDane Can you confirm behavior in Safari?

WonkoTheDane

Yes, I can confirm that Safari v15.5 hovers around 1.6% - 3.5% CPU on same hardware when running a clockify timer.
Also, earlier versions of Orion did not have a high CPU load when using clockify. Might it perhaps be a conflict with some old cache or something?

Vlad

Ok It seems that just loading that dashboard causes high CPU with latest Orion.

Go to: https://512pixels.net/projects/aqua-screenshot-library/mac-os-x-10-1-puma/
Click on the first image in the gallery.
Spam the right-arrow key.
Do the same with Safari.

Expected behavior:
To be Safari's performance or better.

I am able to reproduce this issue. Orion pegs CPU @ 99%. Safari hits low teens (like 14%). I won't upload a video due to bandwidth limitations but it's the same behaviour as @nermur .

I rebooted with the laptop unplugged so it uses only its display (not the two monitors via DisplayLink), same results:

It seems that com.orion.start_page.icon-updater queue is doing something over and over again. Process sample is attached.

Steps to reproduce:

Let Orion run for a day and open new tabs with default Start Page now and then.
At first the Start Page icons are loaded, but after a while the icons are not displayed but only placeholders are displayed and Orion starts to have high CPU usage.

Expected behavior:

maarf Thanks for doing process sample. On this.

Today I do a fresh installation of Orion and play with it a while, adding some websites to favorites etc.

A moment later, I found my MacBook Air very hot, I check activity monitor and found out that CPU usage for Orion is very high.

Probably related to this issue.

Orionic

Steps to reproduce:
Visit https://www.keychron.com and browse the website, observe performance. The whole website lags.

Expected behavior:
Low CPU usage, it is a store website.
