Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
Manuel Hernandez
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Rodrigo Hernandez, Rodrigo Hinojosa
Problems: 

One SISSPI crash -15 min - Remote connection/Chrome became very slow prior to crash - closed several tabs but this did not help much - e.g. typing in this window had a lag of a few seconds. Running top in a terminal showed chrome using > 50% memory, >25% CPU but with significantly higher spikes. Tried from laptop + desktop, and tested my own internet connection to rule all that out. May be worth trying a different browser?
