Database takes a long time to initialize on Chrome

[RastaAlex]

When I try run example in https://mystery.knightlab.com/ run button doesnt work, reset button works well.
Im using:
Chrome 90.0.4430.72
Windows 10

We don't have ready access to a Windows 10 system to run a comparison.

I just tried this on MacOS Chrome 90.0.4430.72 (Official Build) (x86_64) and at first seemed to reproduce the issue -- the run button did not work. However, after a few seconds, it did work, concurrent with the browser console log message "DB initialization successful"

For whatever reason, on Firefox, there is no similar delay.

In short, please verify that this issue continues longer than 5 seconds or so, and also, if you are able, please check your browser console to see if you get a message like "DB initialization successful" (or, alternatively, "DB initialization failed")

It's been my impression that Chrome is pretty consistent across operating systems, but who knows. We'll leave this open until we get more information but for now marking as "needs validation"

Thanks for your reply. I found that button actually works but with delay 44 seconds.

That's an unfortunately long delay, and much longer than I experienced. That entire experience is dependent upon third-party libraries, so I don't know when we can fix it, but I'll edit this issue a little and we can leave it open for tracking. When I have a minute, I can at least look to see if those libraries have any updates.

see https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries/blob/master/README.md for the original instructions about how to do this on your own computer, before we implemented it as a web-based experience.
