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.

I’m beginning to think it’s the SD card. I did a clean install of Raspian on the SanDisk ultra which is the same class (u1) as the other card which was plain black and it seemed like it was a twinge better but not fantastic. Thanks for your input cowboysdude.

I ordered a SanDisk extreme u3 which will get here tomorrow and try that and report back in. Don’t take your mirror down haha

@Mykle1
Just to rule out one more variable: the pi 3 should be fine running at 1080p yes?

@Mykle1
My last ditch effort is to try a new SD card. The card it came with is a SanDisk 32gb card and it’s just a plain black card and I have this otherone which is a SanDisk ultra 32gb card so maybe that does something.

@Mykle1
Well I ordered a new pi 3 on Amazon and did a fresh install it’s the same thing all over again. Every time the text changes on magic mirror it maxes out my cpu. And it’s starting to overheat as well and I didn’t even change any overclock settings.

Quite infuriating honestly. I don’t know what I’ll try next.

My hardware is also BCM2835 revision a02082 , just like Snille. I have another micro SD I think floating around somewhere in my house, I’ll try and do a clean install of rapsian stretch lite on it tomorrow and use the auto install script on that and see how that goes. Fingers crossed I just got a crappy SD card or something.

I’ll do this as soon as I can, I’m still not home from the day yet but I’ll get to it later this evening.
Thank you everyone for your help!

@Snille
Speaking of hardware, and this may be a dumb question, but any chance the mouse and keyboard are causing this performance hitch? I just plugged in the ones on my desk which are the corsair strafe and logitech g600, both more intricate than normal pnp mouse and keyboard…

@Snille
I’m running a full version. I intend on reinstalling Raspian lite when I have some free time if I can’t troubleshoot it until then.

When I was installing electron, I tried to install it globally with the -g command like it suggested in the electron readme. However it said I didn’t have permission and I tried to repeat it with sudo and it still said the same thing. Not sure if that means anything significant. I did get it to install non globally with no errors but I dunno if that may be my problem.

@Mykle1
I just made sure I updated to electron1.7.5 and it’s still chugging like before. I got some errors aboutHere is my nmon reading as well.
