Description

Preflight Checklist
Problem

I am using Azure Storage Explorer on a machine with only two CPU's and it is really slow. It is great that you have reduced the size of Azure Storage Explorer in 1.22.1, now the next step is to focus on optimization. You can take inspiration from what has been accomplished with Notepad++.

Desired Solution

Azure Storage Explorer should be optimized so it is not so CPU intensive. The developers and testers should try to use it sometimes with a 2 CPU virtual machine. Optimizing the code also has an impact on battery life and energy consumption.

Alternatives and Workarounds

There is no workaround if your hardware is what it is...

Research direction

Start by reproducing Azure Storage Explorer's CPU usage on a two-CPU virtual machine and identify the relevant workload before choosing an optimization target. Done means demonstrating reduced CPU intensity and improved responsiveness, including on constrained hardware.
