On my test computer which is an i7 m620 and no GPU it is very slow and takes the CPU to 100% on all cores while idle. opening a window will just get stuck at "working on it". While it looks nice this has probably been the slowest and least efficient web desktop I have opened on this computer and I have looked at a lot because I am building my own.

To be fair, that is a 12 year old processor, so many modern websites are probably hard

  You would be surprised, most sites work well actually. OPs site is probably one of the slowest sites I've visited with this laptop.

    I would hope that is because of the wallpaper or CDN misses, because in general I hadn't had such issues. Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps you could try setting an image as the wallpaper to stop the animated one which can be a hog.

  I indeed coded with modern computers/browsers in mind. It's unfortunate to hear someone is siting at "Working on it...", because at least for me on Chrome+Windows at home accessing my production website, it is very quick. I have heard some people also say it's quick, but it is starting to seem like 10% or so are having issues with performance. I could see the wallpaper being an issue. Or the CDN perhaps not having it cached as my web server is slow if it needs to grab from there. Thanks for the feedback!

I've heard a few people with no GPU accel having issues with the wallpaper. I should probably find a way to detect that and unload it. Thanks for feedback!

Yea I was also noticing a lot of "Working on it..." showing up, and I'm using a modern machine with an 11th Gen Core i7. I'm thinking most of the issue might be the wallpaper. Its cool and all, but its a huge CPU drain.

  Thanks for the feedback. There is some performance work to be done if you are seeing "Working on it..." for File Explorer, so that could be possible for larger folders. As for apps saying that, some of them require large library files to download first so depending on internet it could be downloading 1-10MB+ if you open something bigger. I am using CloudFlare CDN but it also could be possible if you are in an area where it's not cached that it gets it from my web server at StableHost which is slow. Thanks for checking it out anyway! I hope one day you can try it with a smoother experience because when it works, it can do a lot, although it's a lot of just messing around. :-)
