IRIS Management Portal lag and terminal input latency when running background automation tasks
Hi everyone,
I’ve been diving into the new IRIS 2026.1 features this week, specifically trying out the opt-in modernized Interoperability UI and the new DTL Explainer, but I’ve recently hit a persistent technical snag where the Management Portal becomes incredibly sluggish and my Terminal sessions start to experience significant input latency.
I am currently using a community setup to handle some automated local logging and script-based data scrubbing for my production archives in the background while I work. I’ve noticed that whenever the background executor starts a heavy processing cycle, my interaction with the modernized BPL Editor starts to "jank." It’s particularly frustrating when I'm trying to review message traces or test new ObjectScript methods, as the browser often triggers a "Page Unresponsive" error or the socket connection to the local instance seems to drop.
It feels like the background process is competing for the same system resources—specifically CPU threads and memory bandwidth—that the IRIS write daemon and the web gateway need for stable performance. I have a few related concerns for the systems experts here:
I’m not sure if the way a https://deltaexeutor.com/vng/ style environment manages its internal threading is causing a direct resource contention issue with the shared memory segments or the specific local drivers used for secure socket communication in the 2026.1 release. Has anyone else encountered performance bottlenecks or "Gateway Timeout" errors while running high-level script executors alongside their IRIS instances? I am also wondering if there is a recommended way to isolate the executor’s CPU priority so it doesn't "starve" the resources needed for stable database operations and portal responsiveness.
I really need to keep this automation active to stay on top of my administrative logs, but the constant UI lag is making it difficult to properly evaluate the new platform features. If anyone has experience optimizing a development rig or a local server for concurrent usage of heavy script executors and InterSystems' latest tools, I’d love to hear your advice!
Thanks for the help!
