 I've noticed this for some time now, but recently it seems to have gotten worse.
I use Firefox. Periodically I will notice that keyboard response when typing plain text slows to a crawl. I will check and see that I have Automatic Washer web site loaded in a tab. If I close that tab, keyboard response speeds up to normal. In fact, it's happening right now as I type this post. I will post it and close this tab.
Thanks, just wanted Robert to know. | ||

Hi Rich, I tried last night to reproduce this slow down using FireFox but I could not, leaving AW open and typing in input boxes in other websites on other tabs was just as fast as usual.
I use Chrome pretty much all day long and almost always have AW open on one of several tabs open and have never noticed a slowdown like you describe. Is there a specific page (left open on aw) that you notice this happening? Also are you using the latest version of FireFox? | ||

 Actually DO see transient latency typing in the textbox. Might get as far as 3 characters behind then update and fill in. Most of that last line didn't do it but the period after 'in' did, maybe 300msec.
I don't recall this being a standard artifact of AW but also can't say when it started. It's not intrusive enough to bother with, unless it's part of what Rich is seeing.
Have seen it worse, after opening some laggy site then closing that tab, some of the lag hangs over. That may be a FF artifact as it often becomes unresponsive when it thinks it's in the middle of something somewhere else. I meant to speak with FF about that because at times it is so unresponsive it won't close the offending tab. But running an obsolete/unsupported version I doubt they would care.
2 tabs, this one and a static photo. WXP/FF39, 100mb cable modem, nothing else running, no AV, yes zonealarm. | ||

 I've not noticed any specific lagging on AW. Firefox may bog-down when I have a bunch of YouTube vids open in tabs for a while, like 5 to 7+. One playing, the others cued for when I get to them and typically pre-buffering some of the stream. Although I suppose more accurately the entire computer gets sluggish ... Win7 32-bit with only 4GB of RAM (which is the max a 32-bit OS can utilize). The hard drive may thrash for several minutes while temp data is cleared upon closing Firefox, or closing and reopening it. | ||

Oh, ok! At first I was thinking a smart washer was doing it, not this site. | ||

 I had no other tabs open and noticed that typing response was ridiculously slow on my neighborhood discussion board just now. I opened up task manager and confirmed the only app running was Firefox. I could hear whirring sounds, so this seems like an operating system/platform thing that has nothing to do with AW. | ||
