Hm, my experience with astral.ninja is quite bad. It's super laggy, it freezes Chrome, it even crashed a tab on me.
According to some developers' conversation, there seems to be some trouble with DNS, which might be causing some of the lagging you're experiencing. They're investigating it further to pinpoint the actual cause and try to solve it. Let's hope they succeed promptly...

It's a bit too resource hungry, yes. Reload that tab every now and then and that problem goes away. Also, it's rapidly improving also in that respect.

I appreciate the improvements! To provide more details here's my experience:
Console is full of errors (mostly CORS for images, but also JS issues):
chunk-common.f275f715.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'latest_created_at') at chunk-common.f275f715.js:1:3357 at Proxy.reduce (<anonymous>) at o (chunk-common.f275f715.js:1:3326) at n (chunk-common.f275f715.js:1:3965) at Proxy.processEvent (about.aa632906.js:1:4936) at about.aa632906.js:1:4089 Access to image at 'https://cdn.jb55.com/img/red-me.jpg' from origin 'https://astral.ninja' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. red-me.jpg:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED
If I navigate to jack's profile and click on "FOLLOWS", it never loads.
I have multiple people that I follow. The app never loads their names or pictures.
When I refresh the page, all my "follows" disappear (for at least a minute - I stopped waiting)

When was that? As I said, it's rapidly improving in performance. I also have the thing with names and pictures not loading at times, which is good, because there are so many notes published that it's loading first, and ignores the superfluous names and pictures of follows. You can force their download, though, by clicking on them.

This is happening to me right now as we speak (I copied the console errors right when I was replying to you)

We are whitnessing the birth of Nostr. :-) And the moves of Jack and the ego-maniacal are conducing to a stress test of the whole system, its protocol, the relays, and the clients. Perhaps report it to astral's maintainer to help him improve it?
