Browser stalls when using Confluence

[Søren Knudsen]

Hello everyone

We use Confluence in my workplace, and it's generally great, _except_ that whenever I have a Confluence tab open in my browser, it seems to slow down my browser in general, in some cases so much so that I'm forced to close the tab to get back control of my browser.

I just had to do some intensive editing of a Confluence page, and it got to a point where I had seconds of lag in between each keyboard input.

It's my impression that several of my colleagues have similar issues.

Does Confluence have a memory leak in the frontend, or are we doing something wrong? Are other people experiencing similar issues?

Kind regards

Søren

This would explain things:

Just a guess on a way to avoid notifying watchers of purged pages, is what we found works when mass-deleting attachments (or pages with a bunch of attachments): Restrict the viewing of the home page to just yourself (or the person doing the deleting). Then restore full access when through.

You would want to test it though. I don't know if there's another way; if there is hopefully someone will weigh in.  If you decide to test this approach can you let us know if it worked?

Due to the numbers of pages that can sometimes be included in purge operations, it would certainly be helpful to have an option (and probably a default option) to NOT send email notifications on purged content.

Thanks Tom...I like your proposed workaround, but can you test it first?
