Question
Droplet Slowdown - expected?

Asked by itstonysantana
Just made my first droplet, installing python and whatnot and basically setting everything up, and it’s taking forever. It sounds like my CPU is spinning hard and it’s strange because I thought most of the processing was happening server-side, not locally.
I’ve read in the forums that the server I’m connected to might be causing latency, but what I really don’t understand is why my CPU is taking the load. I’m fairly new to cloud computing so forgive my ignorance, but any help would be greatly appreciated
