Re: Talking Point: The Switch eShop Could Be Great With These Few Tweaks

I'd say one thing they could do to improve performance would be to remove infinite scrolling. The eShop really starts to struggle when you're so far down search results, the all games on sale page or some publisher pages for example.

When you're so far down and then go to a game page and then go back it does remember where you are, however it has to hold the whole list in memory. Couple that with the feature when you've highlighted a game and it starts cycling through the screenshots for that game, there's a lot there in memory which doesn't need to be there.

The switch browser engine clearly has been given the bare minimum in terms system resources in order to ensure game performance isn't impacted. However it doesn't seem to be allowed to use more resources if a game isn't running.
