T108620 has brought a new bug : while not clicking on blue points, my CPU was used at 100% (of one core only).
Once I have watched both pop-ups, CPU use become normal again.
It seems to be only the visual effect, because if I change tab in my browser, the CPU use become normal again whereas VE still turns. (and if I come again on wiki tab the CPU resume to turn max.
I use Iceweasel 41.0.2 (Debian 8.2 ; LXDE)
(sorry for my bad English)
Hi @Pols12, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Does that mean your CPU is at 100% for minutes, if you do not click the blue points?
Yes it is. 100% of one core, 50% of total because I have 2 core.
I think it is real performance issue (but maybe just for my old PC, I will test with another one).
If you want I can make a screenshot video (I permanently display CPU use).
I can reproduce using Firefox 42 on Windows 7, hovering at ~15% CPU for me. Opera 33 (like Chrome) uses like 2%, basically imperceptible. IE 11 uses 5-10% CPU.
(Note that this was on my local wiki, without Citoid, so it was only rendering one pulsing dot and not two.)
@matmarex : you make a mistake.
Gecko is used by Firefox and Blink by Chromium.
So previous title was correct : CPU is low for Blink and intensive for Gecko.
