      Facebook messenger and WhatsApp in the sidebar are too heavy on resources, my CPU has spikes to 100% load like every 15 seconds. Maybe it's something to be improved...

        I've isolated it to WhatsApp, facebook is fine, it's WhattsApp, especially when the phone os connected and they're communicating.

            Better, but it still has random spikes. I'm not sure if it's the sidebar apps fault, but I think it's likely. Every 15-20 seconds the cpu load goes up and my fans start to spin lie crazy for about 3 seconds. I guess it's normal, those apps are always communicating to refresh/update themselves.

              @david27 The messengers in sidebar is just the regular pages put in a container.
