Electron CPU usage

Ok, this is the kit I bought back in January. I checked my amazon.com history.

That is also where I installed my Raspbian Jessie from. You can install it from NOOBS

Well I just installed everything on a brand new SanDisk extreme u3 MicroSD. And it’s still using all my dang cpu and the transitions are still so laggy.
I think I’ve tried everything at this point.

Is there anything to do after using the install script? Am I missing some next step? -

You could try this, but I don’t think it’s anything you’re doing or not doing. MM is running, it’s just not running well. I left you another suggestion in the other topic you posted in.
Updating your MagicMirror²
If you want to update your MagicMirror² to the latest version, use your terminal to go to your Magic Mirror folder and type the following command:
git pull && npm install
If you changed nothing more than the config or the modules, this should work without any problems. Type git status to see your changes, if there are any, you can reset them with git reset --hard. After that, git pull should be possible. -
I am having the exact same problem. It is so frustrating.

I’m really sorry =/ I don’t have any better information for you, maybe you can fix yours. Mine is still busted… -
In details: My mm time is running fine until an animation happens, the time freezes and the choppy animation accurs. When the animation is done the time starts again and it speeds up to the point it should be. Also I noticed that every time the animation happens the CPU jumps to 90+% usage. The pi itself also goes extremely hot.
I bought my raspberry from coolblue.nl 4 days ago.

Have you guys tried allocating more memory to the GPU? I think the default is like 64MB or something. I bumped mine to 128MB a while ago.
One other dumb suggestion: Did you remove the nonessential stuff from your Raspian installs? The Minecraft, Wolfram Alpha, etc. as per the complete setup tutorial?

Actually the only thing I did was. Run the auto install command of magic mirror 2 and pm2. That’s it.
