When I use RStudio while downloading a lot of data, it becomes very slow and unresponsive. The issue seems to be similar to https://forum.posit.co/t/rstudio-extremely-slow-if-wifi-connected/42866. Though I am downloading a lot of data, the computer is otherwise responsive (e.g., firefox works just fine and R used outside of RStudio works fine). It is only RStudio that becomes slow, presumably because of the communication between the rsession and rstudio competing with the data download.
Is there some sort of fix for this? Not being able to use RStudio while I am downloading the data to be analyzed in RStudio is a real drag.
For info:
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
RStudio 2025.05.0+496 "Mariposa Orchid" Release (f0b76cc00df96fe7f0ee687d4bed0423bc3de1f8, 2025-05-04) for Ubuntu Jammy
