that causes a spike in cpu usage

Literally anything you do on a computer does this. That's why turbo boost exists.

Why would you bother to write efficient code when you can just throw more resources at it? The future is now, old man.

Any good start menu will have almost the whole start menu loaded into memory and clicking the start button should do nothing more than making it visible and enabling some event handlers.

I tried spam clicking my Javascript start menu on Gnome Linux (ArcMenu):

  • 1 click per second: 0.2% increase
  • 5 clicks per second: 1% increase
  • 10 clicks per second: 2% increase

Looking at the reddit thread posted in this discussion somewhere it looks like a single click is 5% on Windows.

So no. This just shows awful programming by Microsoft and it's not up to the end users to just buy better hardware.

Exactly. Javascript performs just as well as any other JIT scripting language. But taking bets, they are loading the entire engine on every click event instead just keeping the engine running in the background...

I'll take the bet and say "user clicks start so we must startup copilot" .

You mean I have to buy that Silverstone case with the turbo button to make the start menu responsive? /s
