Hi, I installed your 'pyscrlink' on Linux Mint. It works fine.

Hello @RonLinu This is interesting. I checked CPU resource using top command while I connect Scratch on FireFox and my micro:bit via pyscrlink.

I see the process "Isolated Web Co" uses high CPU resource. Is this same as your environment? According to ps command, this process is part of firefox. The 2nd highest CPU resource eater is another firefox process. And the 3rd process is python, which runs pyscrlink.

I measured CPU usage with Chromium instead of Firefox.

Result is similar. Chromium consumes high CPU usage.

So, it looks the CPU resource is consumed on browser processes, not by pyscrlink. I'm not sure what can be done by pyscrlink to reduce the CPU usage.

Yes, Chromium or Firefox can take non-neligeable ressources but when I look in my System Monitor window, I see a specific entry for 'scratch_link'.

I took two screenshots (coudn't figure out yet how to just copy/paste the text ):

This first screenshot is during a connection to a running Scratch program:

This second screenshot is after I terminated the Scratch program. This is where it goes a bit crazy. My computer fan starts to spin fast, this is how I found out about this behavior.
I somewhat fixed this with two scripts: one that starts 'scracth_link' and a second one that kills it when I don't need it.

But from what you said, maybe 'scratch_link' is not directly ressource hungry and, instead, inadvertently affect another process once a Scratch program is terminated.
