Is it just me or is this script quite resource intensive? Pulls processor load to 95%, on my acer netbook with firefox.

- SamAtt 17y agoI get 42% but I see your point. Though it only processes when the picture actually changes and even then only for a second or less. If you set a reasonable delay I don't think the processor load would stop you from using it.
- teej 17y agoImagine what it would do to the average user's CPU. This is a great example of "flashy" technology that looks and works great for the developer, but epically fails for normal user experience.
- hieuuk 17y agoI don't have a netbook so I never test it in low specification computer. But someone complains about that's before too. With this kind of effect, it's inevitable. I wouldn't suggest you use it in a heavy site.
- old-gregg 17y agoEver since I switched to laptops I found a new appreciation for efficient programs. Flash-powered sites burn me (literally - try placing Macbook Pro on your lap and spend 20 minutes on HotPads.com) So... I don't buy "computing power is cheap" argument anymore. The power may be cheap, but battery time (and my skin) are priceless.
