Often, I noticed CPU usage of 30% or so by the end of the day. I saw this
problem
before SM 2.19, but didn't track it down until recently. I discovered this high
usage
was caused by two different web pages:
http://www.nytimes.com/
http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/satellite/displaySat.php?region=LWS&itype=vis&size=large&endDate=20061007&endTime=-1&duration=3
Closing these two pages drops the CPU back to 3% or so. I can also prevent the
ucar.edu page from using the CPU if I stop the animation by clicking on the
Stop button.
Is this behavior caused by the web page coding, or is it indicative of a flaw in
Seamonkey? My workaround is to Stop the ucar.edu page when I'm not viewing it,
and
close the nytimes.com page when I'm not reading it; interestingly, it's the
Times
home page that causes the problem, not it's articles I get from clicking on
links in
the home page.
I would suspect web page encoding, especially GIF files that repeat.
In SeaMonkey you can edit/preferences/privacy/images/animated-pages-should-loop
to "once" to stop the GIF files.
