Active ComfyUI tab slows down generation process significantly #13316

Description

@okolenmi

Prerequisites

  • I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
  • I have custom nodes enabled

What happened?

Slowdown happen no matter what limiter I'm using (EVEN 1 FPS), or with disabled preview. No matter browser is hardware accelerated (smaller reduction, but still annoying) or not. It just happens. And only this frontend UI is able to slowdown generation. No matter which other website I'm watching - speed of image generation is ok, but if I will try to activate this hellish tab with simplest workflow in existence I have ~30-40% speed reduction. No matter with extra nodes enabled or disabled. I have tested everything and I can't tell why it slows down generation speed so much.

Overall it feels like some script is constantly trying to do something and it's so CPU expensive it can make CPU a bottleneck during generation. Even on heavy websites like CivitAI generation speed is ok (with hardware acceleration disabled or enabled), so it's unlikely the problem related to visualization.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Just compare generation speed with ComfyUI tab in active and non active states.
