Electron CPU usage

pedroken

@roramirez , the version in the high CPU scenario is v1.7.5. The animations are sluggish, even with only the default modules.

The version of the lower CPU consumption but strange memory leak is v1.6.11.

Thanks!

I’ll try to use @Mykle1 's version of electron. I`ll google it (how to). Never did it.

@pedroken
I also have v1.7.5 and I do have the problem.
Didn’t find out how to downgrade so I’ll waiting for your results :-)

Forgive me if this is dumb, but couldn’t you just delete the electron folder and reinstall a specific version with

Npm install electron@version?

Some mention here of high CPU usage. Maybe electron IS the culprit

Input from my side: I checked the issues with electron 1.8 beta. Same problems.

Well, you let we know if with that version of Electron is fixed the CPU usage. You can modified by hand the package.json to say to npm what version to install of Electron.

My two cents again ;): My electron pakackage.json version is v.1.6.10. I made a downgrade to v1.4.15. Code says “invalid”. But the installation seems to work? Do you guys know, where I can check the installed electron version?
