That new banner is hammering Firefox every; eats an entire core whenever I've got a forum page up...

It never bumps above 3% on my laptop here Ahnlak. What version of FF and Flash do you have installed? Is anyone else having problems with it?

If it really does take up a a lot of processing power, grab the adblock extention for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865once you have it installed, reload the page and you should see a little "block tab" below the image, just block it and it should negate that object anytime you load a page. I really have no clue why it would take up that much proc power, everything graphically is done serverside so it literally jsut looks like a slightly moving image for the flash object. But alas, I totally don't want you to hang around ahnlak :) hopefully the blocking solution should work for you.

I had it up when I left for work. When I came back I got the notice: "This flash movie is using a lot of processing power, do you wish to abort the script?". I clicked no... It killed my browser.

It killed my browser. I will leave it running tonight and see if I can detect anything. It seems to work fine for me (and I am not really sure what would continue to leak as it uses the same images over and over, but let me check into it.

It seems to be highly variable; currently only grabbing about 10% of a core but at other times I've seen it go to a full 100%. While it doesn't matter too much because I've got other cores to play with, it slows up Firefox overall (which then screws up things like playing silly games over at The Casual Collective. I think there might be a leak somewhere - I'm watching the memory usage go up by a few hundred k every time the picture changes, and it seems to be progressively grabbing more processor as well (it's just overtaken BOINC on the processor list!) Meh... maybe I've got something set up strange in Firefox! Running FF 2.0.0.12 and Flash Player 9,0,28,0. eta: just updating Flash to 9,0,115,0 but it didn't seem to make any difference.

probably it has to do with the graphic card on the computer. If the computer is a work computer with out a graphic card but using the motherboard then the full load of the moving of the image is going to the processor.

I'm still looking into this. I don't know why it would do that only on certain comps and not others.
