Another thing to note is that if you filter for only embeds (audio/music/video) that will use a lot more ram because the embeds use a lot of ram. Once you change the filter and those notes get removed from the page then the ram is returned to the system, but while scrolling a feed of only embedded notes your ram usage will go much higher.

I have plenty of ram on my pc sitting there unused. but still it slows down. I don't know why tho
How long does it take before it starts to slow down, and what browser are you using? I keep NostrGram open all day and don't notice any slow-down issues. I use Opera for testing. The Chromium browsers are much better than FireFox or Safari (Safari is the *worst*) when it comes to scripting performance.

Interesting. I did a ram check and even after scrolling a bunch of notes the ram is nowhere near 1gb. On the normal feeds it doesn't cross 100mb. If I filter for only embedded media it gets up to a few 100 mb.
just reopened a tab now to check how long does it take to slow down
Thanks. The more info I have the better chance I have of figuring out what the cause is.
do you use hardware accel on your browser?
No. My laptop is just a middle-of-the-road off-the-shelf laptop too. Not particularly powerful. Most of the coding I do runs on Linux servers and is scripting so no need for a workhorse machine.
