Editor lags

[radix]

Does anyone else experiencing lags on the Databricks notebook editor?
The typing is sometimes very slow causes the cell to hang for a moment. (Using python)

Hi @radix, 

• Ensure that your cluster is appropriately configured. If you’re using an interactive cluster, it might perform better than a job cluster. Interactive clusters are optimized for interactive workloads, while job clusters are designed for batch processing.
• Consider adjusting the cluster size, instance type, and resource allocation based on your workload.
• Follow Databricks’ best practices for performance optimization.
• Specifically, consider reducing the search space for matches, compacting files, controlling shuffle ...

Its not about query performance on cluster rather it is about editing a databricks notebook. it takes longer to edit a cell and most of the time it shows a popup of the browser that the databricks notebook is not responding. Hope it make sense

Did you ever figure this out? The best I can figure it breaking up into more cells or separate notebooks....

The notebook editor has been sluggish for me regardless of splitting up between cells and the language in use. Very frustrating.

I ended up just breaking up that notebook and using the %run command to run them at the same time

A DE I work with was saying to keep cells under 1K lines and notebooks under 10K I believe so I'm just splitting them up more now.
