Forum eats CPU

[Zlobomir 3]

I just noticed that my CPU (Prescott 3.0, EM64) is running on 50C. Next I discovered that Firefox 2.0 is using 75% of it. Thought it is FF itself, but when I changed the page, voilla: -6C, usage 00%. Maybe the snow is too much, I do not know. Is it too slippery for your mice too? :)

Haha. It's using javascript so I'm guessing we've got too much snow on at one time. I'll reduce it now. :)

It is indeed the lovely snow that is causing it...

I'm having the same problem, it's the same with the main site. The script is designed for use with larger (and less) snowflakes, as we're using so many it causes the massive CPU use, as far as I can tell. Maybe this can be somewhat solved by some changes in the script...

[Lee 84]

Okay, that seems to have significantly reduced the CPU and memory usage.

Goes down to around 50-60% when the snow isn't actually in on the screen... but still high 90s rest of the time.

EDIT: Should mention that's using Firefox 3 alpha (Gran Paradiso) on a 1.8Ghz Pentium 4.

Yeah it looked very nice, i'm currently comparing the alternate possibilities for CPU usage so that we could put up some more snowing here...

Hmm, the non-image alternatives are just as CPU heavy. Another forum I'm on is using snow too... which also uses plenty of CPU.
