Performance issues in Chrome

Open camlowe opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

Hi there,

I've recently noticed some performance issues with Particles.js in Chrome. I've tested in Firefox with no issues. In chrome the CPU % usage is incredibly high.

It occurs with your example page https://marcbruederlin.github.io/particles.js/. It's quite easy to notice as the particle movement speed is much slower in Chrome.

My details are as follows: OSX El Capitan - 10.11.6 Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Is this confirmed?

Sorry I can't reproduce this issue. I tried various environments. Can someone debug this for me?

Seeing the same thing using macOS 10.13.4 (High Sierra) with up to 98% CPU usage. Reducing the number of particles and size variations helps but there is a huge amount of memory being required in the JS Heap in the Chrome Performance profiler.

I've updated to macOS 10.13.5 and I'm still seeing this issue in Chrome (67.0.3396.87). Previously it was using 95%+ of the CPU, now it's dropped down to around 45%.
