High CPU usage on documentation site

I’ve got crazy CPU usage when I open About Burst | Burst | 1.8.17

It goes 100% on one core and never goes low. I am on a laptop, so it is makes documentation unusable for me.

As far as I understand the problem is with searchWorker.js. I attached screenshot from profiling in Safari. The problem occurs in latest Chrome as well. I am on macOs Ventura 13.

Also confirming.
Burst page, what performance irony …

View from Google Chrome Task Manager:

Processor jumps 0 to 50+ for extend duration of time.

Profiler:

After while it stopped. At least until refreshing page agin.

Yeah, it does stops after some time, had to wait a bit more afraid my laptop was gonna take off and fly to the moon I guess search worker builds some kind of index when page loads, for searching. But this never happens on any other documentation site. Maybe there is problem with configuration, or event worse - the amount of searchable data is so big a have to wait a few minutes before index gets build. Which sounds unlikely to me.

It would be kind of ok, if it only happened on first load of page, but it happens even when I click on links inside documentation.

I reported this on the forum here in July, 2022.

The feedback form does not seem to work properly on some popular browsers & extensions that block tracking, and the page doesn’t indicate it failed. Usually these extensions can improve online performance, like in this case of high cpu usage.
