Pistonheads CPU usage in Chrome.

[trooperiziz]

What exactly are you doing with all that CPU usage that you use?

Pistonheads forum seems to idle at around 20% CPU usage on my machine, regularly spiking to 30%, but never going lower than 15% when my chrome browser is on the PH tab. (You can see what each tab uses, using the in built task manager in Chrome)

I've blocked literally everything other than content being served from www.pistonheads.com and static.pistonheads.com, yet still you use my CPU for something...

For comparison, Gmail, with it's inbuilt notifications and online chat, runs at about 5% usage. Reddit the same, eBay the same. Yet PH is using 4x the CPU...
