Long conversation history = client-heavy

I have a conversation with o3 that’s been going on for weeks. It performs great and I don’t plan to start a new one anytime soon. However, the browser tab (in Arc/chromium) is very laggy. Even typing is noticeably delayed by about 500ms. It also starts consuming a lot of power when open.

I tested to be sure:

  • Closed all other apps and all other tabs
  • Made sure no heavy background processes were running on the mac
  • Plugged in power

It’s definitely this tab.
