Station is slow / high memory usage / high CPU load
DanK
The issue I’m facing is …
Station is unbearable to use since this and maybe previous version due to high
CPU which causes high fan speeds on my Macbook Pro. I was using it a lot and
now I’m quitting and running it when needed. That sucks because I’m
unreachable for people that matter to me during work hours.
Here’s the detailed report
Trigger: Having Station running
Issue: High CPU usage resulting in high fan speeds resulting in highly irritated user

Hi everyone! We just want to let you know that our team is currently hard at work on a new 2.0 version. As a result, being a team of 9, we can't provide support for bugs on the current version any longer. Stay tuned for more! You'll receive a Beta access very soon.
Stay safe
Rion Martin
Thanks @Julien Berthomier. Excited to check out 2.0 and hope the new version solves the cpu/memory issues.

@Julien Berthomier: how will beta access be distributed?
Julien Berthomier
@tk: we will reach out to you directly as you are an active user of Station. Active members of the community such as yourself will be among the first to get access :)

@Julien Berthomier: Please fix this issue, looking forward to version 2.0
Heather Charlton
@Rion Martin: yes please! mine has been shutting itself down and re-opening mid-email etc. 10+ times a day and I'm unwilling to give it up! It also re-downloads the same documents every time it opens. I love it but having to re-open it 10+ times a day is getting tedious. Can't wait.

@Julien Berthomier: Hi! I'd just like to say I'd love to have access to the beta, I'm a big fan of your app!
Lisa Wood
Hi @Julien Berthomier - I'm a Station user and stopped using it due to the cpu/memory issues. I'd love access to the beta so I can come back! Otherwise I'll have to go to something like Shift. Excited to check out the 2.0 beta.
Julien Berthomier
@Lisa Wood: You will receive access as a previous user of Station :) However this isn't just an improved version, this is a very different product :) Stay tuned

@Julien Berthomier: Hi ! I use Station day to day since a long time and I would love to get access to the beta of Station 2.0 when it releases and would be glad to give feedback !

@Julien Berthomier: Is there an ETA for 2.0 launch? Eagerly waiting. :)
Federico
@Julien Berthomier: Hi Julien, is there any ETA on version 2.0? Station is using 9gb of RAM! I choose station to not let Chrome use all my ram and now I'm back to the beginning...
Julien Berthomier
@Federico: we have pivoted to a Chrome extension now and have decided to discontinue the desktop app (partly because of the performance issues you are referring to), did you receive the email I've sent out?
Federico
@Julien Berthomier: Ehm...nope! But I just request access and I am #1645 on the waiting list! Eager to find more about it... Thanks!

I've used Station almost since the beginning and CPU usage has never been great. I've had to stop using it completely about two months ago because running it for any length of time would cause the fans to spin up and stay running until I quit it. It would be great to get some kind of sign from the developers whether or not this is being worked on.

Had no problems before at all; but lately, encountering the same issues here and there. It causes the app to freeze, my laptop fan running a lot, or taking a loooong time to respond to a click I made in Station. Not sure what happened. Maybe because so many people are using it now? This is your moment to shine (almost everyone working remotely), Station; so hopefully this can be fixed soon.

Getting the same High Memory, High CPU issues. Additionally after extended periods of time the App just freezes and needs to be force quit (Mac OSX15)
Definitely a memory leak somewhere.
Alejandro Guzman
App is consistently using 65 to 70% of 8gb RAM on my PC... Brutal
Charles Williams
Same issue. 100% CPU usage. Makes station unusable 20 seconds after I start it. Freezes my entire KDE desktop except for my terminal. I have to uninstall and abandon.
Ashish Bagaria
Please, please do something about the High Memory and CPU usage. Overall, a great app...but won't last too long on my PC!
Jordan Newton
Severe loading issues after updating to 1.63.4.
My whole PC (Windows 10) slows right down and freezes the PC, nothing will open until I force close Station in Task Manager but that can take 5-10 mins to process in itself. Station is totally unresponsive and unusable at present.

@Jordan Newton: I was having the issue for the last few days, even after updating to the latest version of Station on Ubuntu 2019.10; the parent browserx process was taking up ~40% CPU consistently and causing my laptop to overheat. I have the same setup on another less powerful laptop with almost identical configuration, no CPU issues there.
I was able to fix by deleting my entire configuration and re-installing completely (https://community.getstation.com/t/how-to-uninstall-station/2915). CPU usage is now consistently under 10% when using the exact same apps.
Hope this helps!
Mathew Samuel
Yeah this app does seem to take a lot of memory per app that's added.
Michael Christensen
This is taking up 2.4GB memory
cpu load is fine <1%
