High CPU Usage While Watching Videos #170

Open brynne8 opened 8 months ago

brynne8 commented 8 months ago

Description: When using the Mercury browser to watch videos, I've noticed significantly higher CPU resource consumption compared to Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers. This issue persists regardless of whether I'm using the AVX or AVX2 versions of the Mercury browser.

Expected Behavior: The CPU usage should be optimized and comparable to other popular browsers when playing videos.

Actual Behavior: The Mercury browser consumes a noticeably higher amount of CPU resources when watching videos, leading to potential performance issues or increased battery drain.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the Mercury browser (AVX or AVX2 version).
  2. Navigate to a video streaming website (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
  3. Start playing a video.
  4. Monitor the CPU usage, which will be significantly higher compared to other browsers like Firefox or Microsoft Edge when playing the same video.

Environment:

I'm using AMD Radeon card. I don't know why but seems Floorp doesn't have this problem. So I switched to that.
