Yeah, some advertisers have JavaScript code with very intensive
functions. The example tou are giving
<http://sv-cquery.looksmart.com/ads.js> has the script code
"encrypted" so it needs to load the code, decode it and then execute
it, which also generates a high cpu-load.

The best browsers can handle it, but IE sucks, hard. Anyway, the
problem IS looksmart.com. The ad revenue Wikia is earning for it
doesn't pay the problems it gives.
