I can confirm the issue. Using Chiclet slicer on sveral pages. Each time you switch pages,CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe grows in memory and CPU usage. At some point response time becomes unmanageable and you nedd to restart.

    embaud, Is there a fix planned for this issue? We are facing similar issue and our report pages have other custom visuals as well, including Chiclet slicers.

     

    The customer finds the report to be unusable, as not all the client computers have RAM > 4GB. The behavior is observed in both IE as well as Chrome.

      As far as I know, Power BI Custom Visual API team is still working on this issue.

      We'll update status once we have some news.

        Hi Ignat,

         

        We have a production release which is put on hold because of this issue. This issue impacts the whole project and the customer may shy away from PowerBI becuase of this issue.

         

        Is there a way where an accelerated solution is worked on for this issue and a fix released?

         

        This has really become a show stopper for us in rolling out the reports to production for the customer.
