Datalab suddenly very slow #2145

Open jamie-murdoch opened 5 years ago

jamie-murdoch commented 5 years ago

For the past week, I have been experiencing considerable lags when interacting with my datalab notebooks. For instance, when I click a new cell, type some code, or interact with it in any way, it takes ~3 seconds for the movement to show up. In some instances, notebooks will take > 5 minutes to simply open. This issue seems to persist across different GCE instances.

Any idea what could be causing this? As you can imagine, this makes it very frustrating to use datalab.

I'm also experiencing the same issue. Have you made any progress in finding the reason why this is happening?

I had same problem. I found that this is probably google Chrome issue. On Opera web browser, datalab runs smoothly.

Running in Opera seems to solve the problem, thanks! Interestingly, I first tried switching to Internet Explorer from Chrome, and had the same problem, but Opera seems to work.

We encountered a similar slowdown in Chrome 75 for Colab. The root cause is described in http://crbug.com/979363.

@colaboratory-team In that thread it mentions the Colab team implemented a workaround that fixed the problem? Are you able to expand on what that workaround was and can it apply to Datalab?

I'm having the same problem even with Opera web browser. When I try open a Notebook datalab is very very slow and many times datalab is broken. This situation is very frustrating.

I've tried MS Edge and it works better

jamie-murdoch commented 5 years ago

FYI - I used Opera the past 2.5 weeks without issue when all of the sudden it also started to be so slow as to be unusable. I just switched to MS Edge and it seems to be working better.

Hopping between browsers every two weeks really isn't a great user experience... is anyone from Google planning to fix this? FWIW, I'm planning to switch to AWS as soon as is feasible.

@jamie-murdoch crbug.com/979363 has the details, Opera probably regressed as it released the same layout changes. The Chrome fixes have been integrated into Chrome 76 Beta and 77 Canary.
