No idea why but the new Blog page seems to use a lot of CPU - any one else seeing this effect?
My PC is old but it's odd to see a web page taking 80/100% cpu even on this dinosaur
High CPU usage on the new site
Already done that it shows iexplore.exe running at 90/100% CPU if I have the main page and the Blog open in seperate tabs and when I navigate away from TotallyGuitars it drops back to the usual 0/3%ish ... it's not so obvious on my works PC which is a much more up to date machine, doesn't seem to have a problem with other sites /shrug - the only real problem is that if I try to play one of the videos on the Blog page it stutters badly (as you'd expect if the machine was struggling)
I also see "100% CPU usage" when playing the "Windy and Warm" video from the TG Blog section. I don't see such high CPU usage when playing richardk's "Never Going Back Again" video from the TG Forum section. It looks like those videos use different video players for playback. Could that be the issue?
What's odd is that I see the high CPU before actually playing any videos, I was wondering if the site used some sort of "pre-caching" to speed things up and the number of videos it was pre-loading was causing it - it's not THAT much of a problem since I use my works PC mainly and it's a much more up to date machine so it can cope with the load
