I checked the site as well using 10.1 with FF 2.0 on a P-IV 1.8G machine with
1GB RAM.
In about:blank my firefox uses 1.1%
At my filesite.org, firefox uses 3.1%
At that site, firefox uses 65%. I'm assuming there's supposed to be sound or
something?
Of course, there's a bazillion scripts running...
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/genre.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/navbar.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/rating.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/preset.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/ads.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/listen.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/pca.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/playicon.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/country.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/mini.js"></script>
..that can't help!
