Nuxt js high CPU usage in dev environment
Probably problem with the webpack's watch mode.As stated here:
For some systems, watching many file systems can result in a lot of CPU or memory usage. It is possible to exclude a huge folder like node_modules
module.exports = { //... watchOptions: { ignored: /node_modules/ }};In your case (nuxt.js), just add to nuxt.config.js
watchers: { webpack: { ignored: /node_modules/ } }
