Each Microsoft Edge Tab Using About 20% of the CPU

[TheJackah]

I've noticed that each tab in Microsoft Edge uses between 13% and 20% of the CPU.
My CPU is: AMD Athlon X4 760K Quad Core.

Does anyone know a fix for this? I've also been reporting it through the Feedback options available.

Get a better processor? Intel perhaps? Haha, jk.
What sites specifically?

Mostly it is on Windows Central - I don't know what it is about this site, but something is making it very heavy in comparison to other sites. It is so unresponsive. I would follow the trick in the other thread to fix that, but I don't want workarounds, I want actual fixes, otherwise it's just papering over the cracks, which, from experience, can end you up worse off in the long run.

Well, ya, this site is horrible and really needs to be just redesigned from scratch. It seems like it could cause even the Tianhe2 to grind to a halt trying to render it. Lol
20% does seem like a lot, though. I'll dig around on my machine when I get home and see if I can find anything

I only hit like 1.5% rendering windowscentral.com, and then it quickly drops down to 0.2-0.6% on my i7. Does it sit at 20% for you, or does it die off after the site is done rendering? And are you sure you're looking at the CPU usage specifically for Edge and not the overall CPU usage for the whole system? Because running Edge and nothing else, my overall usage sits right around 20%. That's not because of Edge, just because of the OS and all its background processes.

Windows Central racks up to 40% CPU on my pc, other sites only get to 5%

Edge is very CPU intensive on my end too. Both on my laptop, i3 Ivy Bridge and on my PC, FX 6300 @4.5 GHz.

It's like the browser isn't using GPU acceleration at all.

I didn't noticed such thing on my Core2 Dua PC.
