UI Performance is slow

[kobayashi90]

If i am testing out the current build of Mist (0.1.0) in Docker the performance is really bad..
if i hover over things the time until the thing highlights themself takes really long.
also loading albums is still a bit slow for some reason..

More Info: I am using Zen Browser.

Edit: Can provide more info if needed.
Edit 2: To carify things the performance seems to be only slow if we use anything on the app/album/all and its subpages (eg. app/album/*)
Edit 3: Seems to be that Fullscreen Mode is also a bit laggy while trying to open it up.

Hello,

I am using the Docker installation on my end. I have tried Zen Browser, but don't have performance issues on my end.

1. Did you have the same issues with a previous build?
2. Can you check if you have GPU acceleration enabled (seem to be in General > Performance)? I have tried disabling it but it didn't change much on my computer.
3. Is it possible for you to test in a different browser?

1. Did you have the same issues with a previous build?

Yes, so far in all versions.

2. Can you check if you have GPU acceleration enabled (seem to be in General > Performance)? I have tried disabling it but it didn't change much on my computer.

Yes its enabled by default.

3. Is it possible for you to test in a different browser?

Yes in all Browsers.
(due to me doing a lot of debugging i have Firefox, Firefox Nightly, Chrome, LibreWolf & Opera on my Machine.)

Thank you for the replies.

Some more questions I can think of:

• You mentioned it was only on album related pages, so I assume the slowness on hover is not present on home or artist related pages?
• Is it the same if audio is playing or not (since browser has to handle audio playing / progress bar updates)?

I have identified some additional optimizations I could do on the visualizer so this might solve some of the issues with fullscreen mode.

Would it be possible to provide some performance profiler record (ideally, Firefox but whatever works best for you)? Maybe on a specific album subpage.

it seems that the performance on 0.1.1 is better tho i think making the image size on all album be 300 like on aonsoku is good enough. its currently on 512.

Glad to know the latest changes have improved things a bit.

I've just reduced the cover art sizes to 256px (they are not displayed larger than that except on fullscreen mode, which already used a larger setting), and 64px on track items (for track list / play queue).
