High Resource Usage #96

Closed tekktonic closed 2 years ago

tekktonic commented 4 years ago

On my pinebook pro gtkcord3 is consistently the highest user of CPU on my system. It consistently sits around 95% CPU and uses 700MB of memory. I'd be happy to provide some profiling info if you let me know how, I don't know what instrumentation isl like for Go.

Profiling gtkcord (and most cgo applications) is painful because the bulk of the work is in C, which requires recompiling shared libraries and attaching C profilers such as gperftools instead of using Go's pprof.

That said, I don't work on gtkcord anymore. With cchat-gtk, I have tried to mitigate the issue for the most part with lazy-loading and such.

This bug is probably fixed now, since gtkcord3 will only play GIF avatars/icons when they're hovered over (but not attachments/embeds), and porting to gotk4 solved the memory leaks.
