Starting new browsers more efficiently

[TrueObsidian]

My cpu can handle over 30 threads of chrome browsers running a video. But it can't handle the initial spike Chrome unpacking to a new directory. I'm assuming this is because of how it unzips. Is there any way to set the processing power used in the unzipping process?

I don't know about that.

Did anyone found a solution to this? I heard about Laptop issues with RAM caused by small storage

Another solution could be to set a delay so everything doesn't open at the same time.

30 threads > 5 browsers open and wait to unzip > next 5 browsers

how to set that?

[TrueObsidian]

I have an idea, but have to learn more about multiprocessing first. @MShawon could probably do this easily.

[josips1999]

This would be great, and efficient for the program to run smoothly, please update if anyone finds solution

okay test this and let me know how it goes

Thank you! Will test soon.

is this for windowd or mac?

[MShawon]

For windows, linux, mac

Works better, this should be the main code, most people have low ram, and even if they don't use laptop, the performance and execution is 10 times better

Running 20 treads per 3 minutes, with around 35sec watch time, previously for 20 took me 35 minutes minimum(using 5-7 treads at time)

I saw you added:
factor = int(threads/6) sleep_time = int((str(position)[-1])) * factor sleep(sleep_time)

This works much more efficiently. Now there's no initial lockup when running a large amount of threads.
