Been noticing the same thing on my F30 system as well....I don't think its Fedora....I think its Mozilla's Firefox, this behavior also has hit my OpenSuSE and my CEntOS laptops....something is eating up the RAM on them when Firefox is running...and it seems to go back to being snappy and fast once I close and then reopen FF, but after a few minutes?.....it slows down again.
Here, firefox constantly eats CPU and a huge amount of RAM, because I
have hundreds tabs. This causes firefox-specific minor and major hangs,
and certainly impacts the system response as well (because of CPU/RAM
eating). In such conditions, it's quite impossible to distinguish what
add-ons and tab content are causing the CPU eating. Closing firefox of
course fixes it all.
If you run top, there should be a bunch of "Web Content" processes. If
you kill the one that is using excessive CPU, you can see which tabs
have crashed and narrow down which sites are causing the problem. You
can also easily restore the tabs, so you don't lose them.
