Status: offline 		Hi okami,

I've had that happen a few times - but only when I've spent 10-plus minutes writing into the text box (almost always when I'm posting to my AARs). I've taken to writing what I want to post in Word and the copying it into the window.

Just my 2-cents...

Internet Explorer, this only started happening two weeks ago and I have not added anything to my computer in over a month so I know it is not upgrades or new installs.

Still, you could try to restore IE's default settings: Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Tab and click on Reset.

WARNING: This does reset a lot of your settings/preferences. Read this for more info:

Ok tried that and it had no effect. So I stumbled across a solution by accident. Seems that if I have a sig, the cursor flashes really fast and since then I have not had the problem. Either I am a genius or a bumbling fool. I'll go with the last one.

Those are probably the snowflakes at the very top of every forum page. Scroll down and see if CPU load drops. Very annoying...

Maybe the browser you are using?

Which one ARE you using??

Come to think of it, I have the same CPU on both machines, AMD Barton... hmmm...

Firefox is actually better than IE7 for using resources (i.e. - it's a lot more efficient).

How much memory do your machines have? i am guessing if you have <1 gig, the CPU is going to be kept a lot busier moving data around and so will show a high usage.

Status: offline 		Well, I have 512MB dual channel on each, but these machines run some pretty demanding software without a glitch, and without reaching 100% of CPU strenght. Why would Matrix forum be such a strain on them? They are old, but not THAT old...

Hmmm... not sure what could be going on... are you running a bunch of stuff in the background?? What kind of usage are you getting if you are looking at (say) Google?

Maybe Matrix is conducting some secret experiment on me?

This is strange... i run either IE7 or Firefox - neither has anything like this usage (esp if i scroll down from the "snowflakes"). For instance - just now checked with IE7 - it flutters around 0-2% usage.

EDIT: Firefox gives similar results... i notice that things vary a lot more when i move the cursor around a lot.

Have you tried turning off all other applications running and seeing your usage then?
It does seem strange that the Matrix forums goble up so much of your resources.

The cause will likely be obvious once you find. Good luck.
