I am running a simple program written in python to launch a chrome incognito browser, navigate to a website, cast a vote (by clicking a radio button then clicking the vote button), then close the browser and repeat. I am running this code:
while 1>0:
page = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
page.get(webpage)
#some code here
page.quit()
When i ran this code in PyCharm, it ran about ~50 times before it got EXTREMELY slow launching chrome. For instance, the first ~50 times it launched, it took 1-2 seconds to launch chrome and start loading the webpage. But after ~50 times it started taking 20+ seconds to even launch chrome. I had to completely restart pycharm to get this fixed and then it did it again after ~50 times.
I thought this was an issue with pycharm so i ran it directly from the terminal (I am on mac). It ran about ~300 times from the terminal before it started doing the same thing.
Any idea what is causing this or how i would fix it?
Thanks
