Hi team, this happens everytime I open the latest RC within 30s. It has become unusable and I've reverted 0.99.125-beta. I didn't have any trouble before.

I've attached some process samples. Hopefully it is helpful.

I discovered and resolved the cause of my issue, not sure if related to OP. This morning I did the following:

  1. Updated to the latest version RC (0.99.125.6-rc). Issue persisted.
  2. I tried disabling all extensions and closing all open tabs, closed RC and re-opened. Issue persisted.
  3. I reviewed the process samples I submitted last week and noticed a lot of calls to SQLite. This prompted me to think about how your team might be using that DB, which led me to the History.
  4. In the days before Orion RC become unusable, AWS Console had written about 8,000 items to the history. I deleted these and performance was restored.

Thanks for making a great browser!

    I have a similar-sounding situation. Is/was your freeze accompanied by distinctively janky rolling beachball cursor? In my case this takes the entire system down, so there seems to be no way to dump anything and there’s no reliable repro steps. I wonder if it has to do with RAM, I only have 16 GB and perhaps some Orion-swap interaction kills the system—how much RAM do you have?

      This is related to an older issue, but newer.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. (presumably) Have a large history (mine in ~/Library/Application Support/Orion/Defaults/history is 38 MB)
      2. Go to Orion
      3. Navigate to the menu bar
      4. Hover over the items (previewing the actions) and reach the history tab, which will be noticeably slower than the rest (mine felt like 500/600 ms).

      This is particularly noticeable when using Help > Search, which felt like it had a 1-2 second initial delay.

      Expected behavior:
      I expect hovering over history to be faster (at least, where it's hard to notice any slowdown).

        Thanks for the video. It does not look "that" bad though for a 40mb history file. Wondering how would safari behave with same size history.

          Vlad I only have 10 MB in Safari, but it's practically instant.

              I have a 15 MB history file which also has a noticeable delay.

                Same issue here every time history is clicked for first time the browser is opened
