Editing Sections Within Intent For Amazon Lex Lagging Severely While Laptop On Battery

Question

It makes no sense how doing that while my laptop isn't charging somehow causes so much lag, that the webpage becomes near frozen when even ChatGPT doesn't even lag this badly! Do I have to be plugging in my laptop just to work with Amazon Lex without any lag? I'm pretty sure my laptop specifications are more than fast enough to handle AWS since almost all the brute force is processed by the servers themselves. This problem is extremely anti-client and very inconsiderate for anyone that isn't on desktop or other stationary systems. My laptop may not be as new as it used to be, but Amazon Lex shouldn't be as demanding as a video game, and my battery is only partially permanently depleted.

By the way, I am using Brave browser with hardware acceleration disabled, since for whatever reason enabling that can cause random temporary screen blackouts. I also do not use my dedicated GPU while on battery and never will because it uses up too much power. My internet is fast enough to handle multiple devices streaming in 4K @ 60fps simultaneously with little to no buffering, so it can't be that either with download speed of 50 megabits and upload speed of around 15 via 5GHZ Wi-Fi (probably way faster with ethernet, but I never personally tested that out). And no, do not suggest to me to get a desktop because I don't intend to until my current laptop completely dies on me or I can afford to build my own high end PC.

I understand your frustration with the performance issues you're experiencing while using Amazon Lex on battery power. While AWS services are primarily processed on the server-side, the client-side interface can still be resource-intensive, especially for complex services like Amazon Lex.

The lag you're experiencing could be due to a combination of factors:

1. Power management: When on battery, your laptop may be throttling performance to conserve energy. This can affect CPU and GPU performance, leading to lag in resource-intensive web applications.

2. Browser settings: Disabling hardware acceleration in Brave browser, while solving your screen blackout issue, may be contributing to the performance problem, as it shifts more work to the CPU.

3. Operating system power settings: Windows 11 may be applying aggressive power-saving measures when on battery, further limiting performance.

To potentially improve performance without plugging in your laptop, you could try:

1. Adjusting Windows power settings to favor performance over battery life when using Amazon Lex.

2. Closing unnecessary background applications and browser tabs to free up system resources.

3. Clearing browser cache and cookies regularly.

4. Trying a different browser to see if the issue persists.

5. Ensuring your laptop's cooling system is clean and functioning properly to prevent thermal throttling.

If these steps don't help, you may need to use your laptop while plugged in for the best performance when working with Amazon Lex. Unfortunately, some web applications can be quite demanding on system resources, and battery-saving measures can significantly impact their performance.

Regarding your device specifications, while they are generally capable, the combination of battery power, disabled hardware acceleration, and potentially aggressive power management might be creating a perfect storm for performance issues with complex web applications like Amazon Lex.

It's worth noting that AWS continuously works on improving their services' performance and efficiency. If this issue persists, consider reporting it to AWS support for further investigation and potential optimization of the Amazon Lex interface for battery-powered devices.
