Stockfish 13 Analysis Taking Too Long

Hello Everyone!

After requesting an analysis on a game, when I play any other move to check if that alternative was good, it takes too long for stockfish 13 to load and give its evaluation. Why is this happening? It didn't happen with the previous stockfish 12. Is there any solution for it?
Please Help!
Depends because of the depth. The depth of the analysis can give you the best moves.
The same thing happens to me as well. I don't think there is anything we can do about it. We will just have to wait for Stockfish to make a better version with quicker analysis. Until then, looks like you, and the rest of Lichess are stuck with this.
So, is there any temporary solution for this?
Is the analysis somehow related to the CPU and the memory? What happens if I increase the number of CPUs or increase the memory?
Perhaps we are becoming spoiled, expecting fast evaluations of positions that would have taken humans hours of painstaking analysis to achieve in the era before engines.
The computer "warming up" time is not that excessive. If it seems really slow, go and make a cuppa!
I have this same problem and i don't know how to fix it. It's not that the engine takes too long to analyse. It takes some time to start analysing.
The problem is basically whenever i try to analyse a game it loads the engine again from the beginning. It writes engine loading and goes to 20MB or so and then starts working. I guess it's downloading the script each and every time. IDK if it's a my browser or what.
Ideas:

- Use a browser that does not support (yet) Stockfish 13. It will use an earlier version. Firefox for me.
- Set the CPUs to larger value and Memory to the largest value in the moves window menu.
