It's not just Opera ... they come up blank in IE & FF too. In fact, they are blank 90% of the time (if not more) for me. I'm sure the advertisers (who are paying top dollar no doubt) would be thrilled to know that...Quote:

Anyone experiencing an issue with chrome?
Why is the inside of the advertisement box taking so much time to load? Also CPU usage jumps to more than 15% during this time.
I'm using:
IE6.0 SP3
Windows XP Professional SP3
3.40GHz Dual Core CPU
4GB RAM (3.6GB effectively)
Attachment 78067
I can confirm this. A slight delay seems to have crept back in using IE. Not as bad it was originally, but it's definitely there & still somewhat annoying...Quote:

That would be nice.Quote:

Is this happening only to me? Is there any way to get rid of this? PLEASE?!
Thanks.

I'm sorry but are you referring to something different than what we have been talking about here for the last 180+ posts?Quote:

Thanks for the boot... mmm, I mean, nudge in the right direction. :bigyello:

THe load time of the insides is something being addressed. I agree it is way too slow and should be near instant. I've been told it is being addressed.Quote:

If people disagree with me... well, if they do, I'm sure I'll get the PMs or the responses in this thread :)
Brad!
Yes. I know it seems sarcastic to raise an issue of CPU usage in such situations, when there are web elements (like flash etc.) that eat a much greater amount of CPU. But shouldn't we keep this in mind that we are here loading just a 10KB image file which is no comparison those heavy elements we are comparing it to? :)
Actually, there is a lot more going on than just loading a 10k image. There is logic being executed to look at the current page and determine what words to underline. The page is then being adjusted to do that underlining and to associate the appropriate ads. After all that, the image you indicated is loaded. Overall, there is some real calculation and processing happening.
If we monopolized the CPU doing this, then I agree that we'd need to further tweak the code to lighten in up. If we are taking only 15% of the CPU,then I (personally) think it makes more sense to be focusing on speeding up the code rather than lightening its CPU load.
Regardless, we are letting the tech team know all the issues that are being raised here. We are taking each one seriously.
Brad!
Thanks :thumb:
