For the last days, I noticed how my system seems to slow down considerably when I have the AI Studio app open in my browser. But when I switch to another tab page, things speed up again. When I send a prompt and the AI gets busy, it slows down a lot, even. And it doesn’t seem to eat up much of my CPU, not much of the 64 GB of RAM that I have. It just slows down for some reason.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Because it’s really annoying to have to switch between tab pages when AI Studio is doing stuff. I think it has to do with the JavaScript in the frontend of AIS that causes this.
I don’t have many extensions installed (Less than 10) and am already using Google Chrome. Also did a refresh, cleared the browser cache and am using multiple profiles.
But for the last five hours it seems faster again. Not sure if this will last. If it slows down again then I’ll add more updates.
Well, as I kept working on a project today, I noticed AI Studio slowing down again. It seems to happen when it opens more and more modules in the browser for editing. A page refresh removes them again, but does not do much to improve the speed. It does make it slightly faster again, only to slow things down as the next prompt is opening a lot of modules again…
It would be practical if it could close these modules again, afterwards. Only modules opened by the user should stay open. But I like the AI to do almost all the editing of the code.
I did tell it to split app.tsx into a small base module and a lot of smaller modules for all the visual parts like the header, menu and various panels. This, of course, increases the number of modules and if it keeps them all open…
But splitting app.tsx this way also reduces the chance of ending up with blank screens and should allow the AI to just focus on a single part of the code. After all, it should not modify the menu or header when I ask it to make an adjustment to the status bar.
