Research direction

Reproduce the freeze in Chrome by opening ConferoView, starting a recording, switching to another tab for about 30 seconds, and returning. Compare event and data handling while the tab is inactive with behavior after recording stops; done means the monitoring interface returns promptly without a delayed catch-up period.

Description

bug High Priority TOP #1

#1. When I open the ConferoView on Chrome as one tab, and switch to a different tab for a while (say 30 sec.), and then switch back to the ConferoView tab, the interface will freeze for a while -- almost 30 sec., before slowly coming alive.

What happens when the tab is not active? Are events still being handled? Looks like the View tab is trying catch up with a lot of data/events.

Seems to happen only when the recording is in session. When the recording is stopped, there doesn't seem to be any delays.

Of course we can tell people not to check facebook while monitoring an experiment ;-)
