Laptop becomes noisy when ever i open "https://contrail-jws.atlassian.net/"

Question

Hi All,

I am using this link - https://contrail-jws.atlassian.net/. When ever I open this site - in any browser Firefox or Chrome, the laptop ( Lenova thinkpad Windows 10 ) starts making noise and CPU usage starts climbing to 100.

The moment I open the above site, in any browser, my laptop starts becoming noisy and CPU / memory start climbing high.

Is there any way to avoid this.

Regards,

Palani

Yeah, that laptop really should not have an overloading problem.

I was thinking you might be using something like the tough little travelling laptop I (used to) carry around - 1GHz processor and 2Gb RAM meant that using Jira maxed out the CPU for long periods which is where a fan might ramp up and get noisy.  Your machine is more powerful than the thing I use daily, which doesn't struggle with several Jira and Confluence pages open.

If you've tried Chrome and Firefox, then it's not the browser.

I think the next question is what you are doing on the site that appears to be delivering hugely demanding work on to your browser.  Could it be a board with thousands of issues for example?

It might be worth using the developer tools in the browser too - they might be able to tell us what is chewing up all the processor and memory resources.

I have tried with both Chrome and Firefox. The laptop has   i7 8650 CPU @1.9GHz 2.11 GHz and 16GB RAM. What different browser you suggest and what is enough power ?

Is there any fine-tuning in browser settings that can help ?

Sounds like your browser is struggling with the javascript and processing Jira is asking it to do.  Jira is not light on that, but neither it is heavy compared with some.

Have you tried a different browser?  Or a more modern computer with enough power?
