Huge lags in Basilisk

Unread post by jury68000 » 2023-04-26, 18:52

I have installed Basilisk last weekend and from the beginning there are huge slow downs when doing anything in this browser, like scrolling a website, writting some text, switching to a different tab ...
Those freezes take even up to 10 seconds. Just everyting gets frozen and all I can do is wait for unfreeze.
I'm on PC Linux OS with Xfce desktop on some old i7 CPU with 16GB RAM. And its not for sure the hardware, as in Firefox (which I want to replace with some other browser) all runs perfectly smooth on this hardware. I have no idea what my Basilisk version is (maybe its this: 2023.04.05 ? ) but in "About Basilisk" it says that "Basilisk is up to date"
Any clues what is happening, and how to tweak my installation so it will be running smooth?

(I had about 30 half second freezes when writing this post :/ )

(Basilisk) RAM & CPU usage when these lags occur?

Does the same happen if you restart Basilisk into Safe Mode?

Yes, forgot to mention this. "htop" shows CPU short peaks (from like 50% to 100%) for basilisk process. And those happen every 2-4 seconds and last less then a second, as when htop refreshes next second the peak is gone.

If you will find a solution then please share, as Basilisk/Palemoon seem quite nice browsers, but with those non stop happening lags useless :(

And yesterday I installed Palemoon. I have not moved all the tabs (about 50 maybe 60) from Basilisk yet, but it just run smooth. But only for one whole day, as today exactly the same lags started in Palemoon :(

Any solution are welcomed.

I'm attaching memory measure. And if it goes form performance, I do not see any option to save the results, so here it goes:
