How can this issue be reproduced? Open a LOT of tabs. I don’t know how many 'cause Brave can’t tell you how many are open, but nominal CPU utilization runs from 11 to 21% of 2.4GHz 9980HK (sporting 16 HW ‘threads’) so there’s plenty of CPU available, memory utilzation is running about 35% of 128GB…

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to: brave://settings/system Scroll down to “Performance” > “Memory Saver”: “Brave frees up memory from inactive tabs. This gives active tabs and other apps more computer resources and keeps Brave fast. Your inactive tabs automatically become active again when …

I don’t understand how the memory setting would drive enormous latency. The machine has 93GB of free RAM. Is Brave managing it’s own memory - maybe not as scalable as it could be in that respect (e.g. a linked-list is fast at small scale, but turns into quite a nightmare at large scale)? Brav…

Lots of information on the Chromium memory model, but (in my case) memory isn’t the issue. The problem is (what should be inactive) tabs chewing up CPU needlessly. I found that Claude.ai is a big CPU hog - I killed the process (and it’s ~10 subprocesses) and quiescent CPU use dropped from 25-34% t…
