Have feedback on the memory/CPU usage on Edge? We're Listening!

Hi Allison_Pastewka,

I'm quite satisfied with the Chromium powered Edge. Of course there are always points to improve upon. One of them is your implementation of support for Java applets through embedded Internet Explorer. We have a legacy Oracle Forms application running on Java. When I start it using Edge, a constant GPU load is visible in the browser task manager, even when idle. When I start it using Internet Explorer, there's no GPU load.

When was the last time this happened to you?

Today. Screenshots before and after I started the Java applet:

What were you doing in this situation?

I actually just left the machine idle just to monitor the Edge task manager, as well as the builtin Windows task manager.

What was your biggest concern about that amount of memory and CPU usage?

I rely heavily on my laptop's battery, especially since corona forces us all to work from home. I just don't have power outlets at every location in my apartment.
