Comment #13 on issue 441 by unknown.unit: Scrolling or selecting text repeatedly pegs CPU at 100% http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=441
I'm currently using 3.0.197.0 (Developer Build 22243) I did some more investigation and it does seem that the cpu spike is much improved. I get a similar level from Chrome and Firefox now, around 15 to 20%. The issues with my audio playback occur with Chrome and not Firefox, indicating this is something other than a cpu issue, and should probably be opened as a new issue. While it is a little inconsistent, not always happening on the same pages, the earlier linked page - http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/release-notes/ - seems to do it pretty consistently I opened this page just now in both Firefox and Chrome and spent a little while scrolling up and down constantly with page up and page down. With Firefox I see the 15 to 20% spike, but my audio player keeps going fine. With Chrome I see the same spike but every time I go up or down the audio pauses for a fraction of a second (it sounds like a pause, not missing audio,) one or more times as I go in each direction. I also forgot to mention that this glitching often happens on switching tabs to and from these pages, and on initially opening and sometimes on closing. It's sounding to me like maybe there is something clogging up communication as Chrome loads content into the viewable page area and preventing the audio data from being transmitted for that fraction of a second. Something to note is that this is not happening on my work computer, which admittedly is a much better machine than this one, which means that to reproduce you may need to run on an older machine. I would have thought that the problem was in fact other software on my computer, or even aging hardware, if it was not that it isn't happening with Firefox. I suppose it is still possible that something is interfering with Chromium and there is nothing that you can do about this. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
