Looks interesting, but I couldn't keep the site open for long because it was eating both of my two CPU cores.

Firefox 32.0.3 on Ubuntu

About 62 % of time is spent in FFS.CanvasRenderer.prototype.render()

View on HN

Found it sluggish even in Safari 7.1 (OS X 10.9.5)

Very strange! I have opened a issue for review that strange behavior. Seems something related to graphics.

Thanks!

The browser is constantly repainting the polygon background at the top of the page, even when you've scrolled past it.

I could hear my hard drive screeching when I was looking at the transition on the topmost container. Even though the moving background looks nice, I'd still prefer to sustain my battery for bit longer. Your site just ate 2% of it.

I doubt it was your hard drive screeching you heard. There's nothing happening on that page that would be writing to disk. Maybe the fans were going nuts trying to keep the CPU cool.

Could be swapping in and out of ram to disk? That makes a lot of noise (from experience).

Might be the CPU too. My previous laptop with a first-gen i5 made quiet, but audible screeching noises sometimes.

Most likely just your CPU or case fans picking up speed to compensate for higher CPU usage/heat.

Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to hear the actual CPU,.

I have the same issue. Latest Firefox is utilizing 50% of my CPU.

The problem is in the taiga.io web, isn't it?

The problem is the animation on the top of the page.

But the application hasn't this problem.

Correct.

yeah, noticed that scrolling down was very sluggish.

Hi! Thank you all for your feedback; you were right about the animation at the main page: we have just changed for a static (and still awesome) image, so you may notice an improved performance from any device.
