CryoSPARC has really beautiful active job animations, but I also noticed they cause significant CPU load and battery drain. Is there an option for a user to disable them or make them static?
If it is the client side e.g. you are running the web UI from host:39000 from a web browser…can you use xrdp/remote desktop to access the host system or maybe $ssh -Y (X11 forwarding) and running the host web browser from there ? Otherwise, could be worth trying different browsers and settings. On a M1 macbook with chrome is is not too bad.
I’m just bringing the charger to work when I’m processing data and it solves the problem. Only bringing this up because it’s interesting how much influence an animation can have. I’m also on M1 and using Safari.

good to know. It goes not drain too fast for me. I guess it depends on what the web UI is doing. I do also download a lot of ~GB files through it to look in UCSF ChimeraX
Thanks for the post @rpiwowarcz . From our testing the in-progress job ‘pulsing border’ animation doesn’t seem to cause too much of an effect, but we’ve noted down a future improvement to allow disabling the animation.
