Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?

Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It's only noticeable when the page is loading.

Jerboa is horribly optimized and scrolling through comments in a 100+ comments thread is like 20fps on a Pixel 7.

+100 comms... Jesus, those are some large ass threads you're reading.

While i do not (usually) scroll through threads as large as yours, i do own a much cheaper phone (Moto G8 Play), and my experience so far has been great.

Sort by active and you'll easily find those threads.

Try Sync for Lemmy and you'll immediately notice a difference in scrolling.
