web IDE crashes browser / takes too long to load for tpo/content/blog (TPA-RFC-48)

I follow these instructions to post on the blog. When I get to step 4 and click on content > blog, the fun begins.

I almost always get this message: "This page is slowing down your browser. To speed up your browser, stop this page." Usually this disrupts the /blog folder from loading and I have to click /blog again.

In some cases, about 15% of total blog post folders load, and then the page freezes, and it reverts back to the root /contents folder, and I have to click /blog again.

In writing this ticket, I tried to open tpo/web/blog with the web IDE:

  • in Tor Browser, it took me 9 minutes to successfully load tpo/web/blog with the web IDE (this is with roughly 4 complete stops, returns to contents, clicking on /blog again, and attempting to reload)

  • in Firefox, it took me 4 minutes to successfully load tpo/web/blog web IDE

In a world where all I ever need to do is load the web IDE one time, upload the contents and lead, and everything is perfect, and then I can ask someone to merge my post, this might be tolerable. But I have to use the web IDE to make any edits... and I am not a markdown, html, or git expert, so I definitely need to edit things multiple times. This adds up extremely fast if it takes 10 minutes to build a preview.

I know @duncan has also had this issue, maybe he can comment here to validate me, heh.
