SomeoneE1se Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 When using firefox, if there's an animation on the page such as the new spinning avatars my CPU jumps to 100% Is this normal, or is anyone else getting this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I might have to step in on the animated avatars thing... its fucking annoying enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Firefox does occasionally have perfomance issues with animations and flashy stuff like that. I've not had it with these animated gifs but I've had firefox start chewing my CPU a couple times with pages containing masses of animations and flash stuff.

SomeoneE1se Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 What processor do you have?/me expects to hear 200MHz PII ;) Intel Pentium Centrino 2.13 Ghz before I installed adblock the flashing you've won * would bring my computer to a halt Edit: this right here http://thepope.ytmnd.com/ my system wont even play the sound because of the picture.

uber_tom Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 this spinning avators things are pissing me off....slows the page right down when loading I think they're kinda pretty. Can't say i noticed any slowdown, but then i was raised on dial up. Wouldn't have one myself though 'cos it'd make me look like a dick who's just started playing with a cracked animation suite.

Darren Kitchen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 No offense to the animated gif people but they're annoying me to the point that I added a line in my host file to block them. If they're having a negative impact on the forum performance to our guests then I think it's time we rethink our avatar policy. Hang on, I think I hear the kittens meowing at the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I've seen this aswell, and because of it always configure Moz to only loop animated gifs once. My CPU cycles aren't worth this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
