5.5.9 - very high cpu usage, youtube tabs laggy and non-responsive about sponsorblock HOT 9 OPEN

similar issues for me on the 8th gen cpus in my house, particularly when watching lots of 4k or 60 fps video, but no issues on my main 12700kf/3080ti pc, using chrome on all pcs, disabling then re-enabling sponsorblock seems to fix the issue

I've found disabling/re-enabling seems to fix it too, which was a little frustrating because i was trying to replicate it and forward along what data i could. lol, go figure.
I'll leave this open for a bit - toggling isn't a massive hassle but it's not a fix either

I agree would love a fix that doesn't require toggling - I should also add that sponsorblock on my very underpowered $100 tablet seems to run 1080 HD youtube just fine without the same issue, so it seems to be older but still Windows 11 capable CPUs like Intel 8th gen where I seem to have an issue.

Any updates for this one or anything I can share to help? Now is happening on my gaming pc doing about 60 minutes 4k YouTube and toggling access for sponsorblock fixes the issue instantly?

@ajayyy Might be good to ping you in here to see what information you need.

I've been encountering a possibly related temporary slowdown for the last couple of days, youtube crawls to a halt when starting a video with the "This tab seems to be slowing down your browser" popup, and after a few seconds it seems to get over itself and starts acting normally, I think after inserting segments into the video.

Purely anecdotally it might have something to do with #1998? Both issues appeared around the same time for me.

@MadeOfMagicAndWires does this happen on specific videos?

from sponsorblock.

It seemed to affect pretty much any video I started, though I didn't test extensively. The issue has largely abated for me since the servers are back up, though the player UI still freezes up at times (sometimes with the firefox 'slowing down' warning).

I'll keep an eye out for when it happens to see if there's some kind of pattern, though because it's less consistent I don't know how reproducible it is. Not that I'm complaining.

Thanks, there's been some issues in the past with specific combinations of skips causing a code loop, so that's why I wanted to know if it is only on specific videos
