    Edge Insiders,

     

    My name is Tim Scudder and I’m a member of the Edge performance team.  I wanted to provide an update on this issue: we were able to repro the problem locally, we have a fix coded, validated and are now working to get this change into our next dev drop (estimated to be 76.0.166.0).

     

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate everyone’s help in isolating the problem.

     

    NOTE: We are also aware of a VSync timer tick issue that also has CPU/battery impact that originated upstream in Chromium's codebase.  This issue has been fixed upstream and we are also working to make sure the fix is in our next dev drop (again, estimated to be 76.0.166.0)

     

    Regards,

    Tim Scudder

    I could, I suppose, but why?  The important thing is not whether I can replicate the problem, but whether Microsoft can replicate/resolve it.  Consider documenting the issue and getting your logs to Edge Support so that they can open a bug.
