CPU load seems awfully high, I have seen this behaviour in Mozilla suite and Seamonkey, with sites that rely heavily on javascript, particularly one site that uses it (amongst other things) to perform periodic auto-refreshes. Usually, though, things are OK for awhile; the CPU load goes through the roof after several refreshes. There is also a memory leakage that occurs on the same site. Sooner or later, a memory corruption will occur, after which nothing works -- email, browser, everything sits there looking like it is functioning, but nothing works at all.
Some time ago (I cannot recall when or where), I found a reference online suggesting that this behaviour was due to a failure of the web page to deallocate existing javascript functions before allocating them again, or something like that (the memory corruption is, of course, something quite different). Now, I don't bother keeping that site loaded all the time, and the browser behaves quite well. If this is the same problem you are having, AFAICT, it is not something which can be resolved within the browser -- it is rather a failure of the website maintainers to write robust javascripting. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
