On the contrary: This is the one sore spot i have with Elinks*. If it is idle with more than, say, two or three tabs open, then it racks up CPU usage to extremes, and it doesn't take much for Elinks to gobble up the entire CPU just for being idle. With the current temperatures approaching 100°, I have to keep Elinks closed and only fire it up when I actually have to browse something, otherwise my machine overheats from the CPU load. s//un * The other being the perversely high memory footprint, which easily surpasses the weight of my typical Opera session. Last time I checked Elinks was at ~600M... _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
