Incredible, but you are correct. Pegs 1 CPU in FF and while it loads, it barely scrolls.


Pretty sure it was the gif. I've disabled it. Could you try again?


It's still hanging firefox for me. You can install firefox and try it yourself: https://getfirefox.com


Looks like something related to repaints caused by a jquery scroll event http://i.imgur.com/mFL9ZYN.jpg


It's not the gifs it's the scroll event listener causing a redraw every time.


Could you possibly submit the gif in a bug to Mozilla? They’d want to fix that…


1 CPU still pegged on firefox.

But otherwise, Reason looks very cool. A nice mashup of technologies to create something that certainly looks more useful than the status quo. I hope this takes off, but I think the biggest challenge nowadays, even for good technology, is finding an audience amidst a plethora of choices. Technology, as always, is a popularity contest.


Just tried, it's still not working well.

edit: Fixed now.


Thanks for the (many) reports! It's been fixed for a while. No excuse for poor performance!


Nope. Site still completely saturates a core, but only during scroll, not during idle.


No problem here on FF 48.0a2


Having the same issue, it loads very weirdly.
