 I would really like to use Nostrudel, but there really seems to be an infinite loop happening there somewhere. It works well for the first 10 seconds but then it gets super sluggish. 
 I've found that myself. 
 Developers should use worse computers so they would spot these bugs themselves. 
 True. 
 Manufacturs need to put a button on board for under clocking like they do for over clocking.  
 This is what they tell you about design too. And what do we designers do? Buy the nicest screens we can afford 😂 
 Especially because more than half of the active nostr users do everything on phone with even less resources 
 Most mobile apps are mere twitter clones with short messages. noStrudel is a desktop client giving users access to the "other stuff" transported by relays. All through one UI which should be the nostr standard aka "living the NIP standard" 
 Or users need faster desktop rigs. 
 Just bought an 8 year old mini pc. Installing Linux on it now. 

It’s actually pretty sweet to be honest.

 I get all my computers from the dumpster, or used fixer uppers.  Just got a nice ECC server for $60 plus some RAM and (used) SSD drives. 
 You would love my junk boxes 
 I should probably "invest" in an old $100 computer

 That’s why my computer starts overheating.. 
 Have you tried running the nostr-tray relay? My noStrudel is the fastes of all my nostr clients. 
 Yeah, it's weird. 
 Nostrudel is the most performant client I’ve used…  
 That's interesting, it always performs perfectly for me. 
 keep us in the loop of Knowledge please. 
 Same with Snort. 
 These are the most difficult issues to track down 😞 
Are you using the stable version at nostrudel.ninja or the alpha version at next.nostrudel.ninja?

The stable version works but has some performance issues around caching and the notifications view.
The alpha (next) version has a lot of these issues fixed but also verifies signatures by default, which can cause some other performance issues

If your using the next.nostrudel.ninja version can you try to switch the event verification method from "default" to "Web Assembly" in performance settings? https://i.nostr.build/q6ke8.png 
 CPU usage constantly over 100%, app is completely unusable.

OK, now I was trying to record a video of how slow everything was but couldn't because the entire computer was unresponsive -- but then magically, suddenly (I think I refreshed the page?) the slowness went away and never came back again.

Using next.nostrudel.ninja with the WASM stuff does seem to improve it, but now I can't really replicate the slowness anymore. 
 just turn on the heat bruh
