    Urgh, PyQt :)
    You should have mentioned that before or post that in Qt for Python category.
    Since I can't spot the issue from the first glance and I'm currently not able to run your code, I can't help you.

        Don't need to post it again.
        Some mod (@moderators) might move this post there.

            Hi,

            This is more than 600 lines of pretty convoluted code that uses way too many globals.
            If you want an answer please reduce it so that it can be used to reproduce your issue.

              #call main to start program
              main()
              

              it seems to only lag on tabs with tables, even though we aren't interacting with them. any ideas as to why this is?

                What is the procedure to reproduce your issue with that version ?
                By the way it crashes on line 210 when clicking "Start a thread" on the "Connection management" tab.

                  @SGaist the connected function on line 210 should be

                  lambda: self.threadstarter(arbitrary_task))
                  

                  I messed up switching it out for the simplified version.

                  If you click the start thread button a bunch of times, the program lags, but only when going to a tab with a table or from a tab with a table removing the connections tab table removes the lag.

                  To reproduce:
                  Run Program
                  Click on Connections Tab
                  Click the start thread button 8 or so times
                  Click around the tabs

                  I think pyqt6 might have a hard time managing threads and tables, but it's probably my implementation, as this is my first time with pyqt6

                  Thank you

                    Ok so i've figured out some interesting things about this:

                    1. Using the .hide() function on the table removes the lag. using .hide() on both of the tables before starting a new thread then .show() after the thread is started moderately reduces the lag.
                    2. Completely reinitializing the table by removing the widget from the layout then adding it again after starting a new thread reduces the lag more than method 1, but there's still some noticeable lag
                      3.Adding the tables AFTER starting the threads has no impact at all, the lag is just as bad

                    Still not sure what the issue is though

                    Here's the code for anyone insane enough to try and help

                            ok, so what is happening is that every thread is making several calls to the table model every time the tab is opened. is there a way you recommend to prevent this? @SGaist

                              You can implement a debouncer. For example, accumulate a certain amount of changes and only then signal that the model has changed to minimize the amount of time the views will query the model.
                              Also, don't forget to properly use lock mechanism to avoid writing to the same object from multiple different threads.
