Online IDE hich CPU usage

Feedback & Bugs
#1

Hello. I have encountered a slightly annoying glitch.

When the IDE is the active tab, Firefox (Iceweasel 38.5.0) spikes to 50~99% CPU usage (value is per core). This happens even when no test is being/have been run and the IDE is not under use.

Thanks for your reading this!

Do you have this problem with all the puzzles or one in particular?

The following levels show a sustained load after page load, even without further user interaction:

  • The Descent (title fade)
  • APU: Init Phase (mecha firing)
  • The Paranoid Android (lone android)
  • APU: Improvement Phase (mecha again)
  • The Paranoid Android - One step further (android again)
  • Vox Codei (loading screen)
  • Vox Codei - Redux (loading screen again)

It looks like this corresponds to levels with a visualization that includes an initial animation (see parentheses). Visualizations with no initial animation only use the CPU while a test case is running. Also, it does not depend on the selected language.

Remark: if the tab is entirely loaded without being the current one, the initial animation is not always loaded, but the CPU is still highly used once the tab is focused
