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.

    Might be because it’s written in rust. That’s the biggest difference I can think of between Lemmy and almost all other websites.

      Rust is the language for the backend, server side, it has no effect on what the front end client is doing

      Also Rust is a very efficient language, similar to C++
