PS. I couldn't see anything on the Chromium bugs list.

Hi,
Is anyone else seeing this? When browsing news sites in Google News
using Chromium on Kubuntu, everything works OK until I click on a link
to certain types of news sources. As with all Google News links, the
website opens the page in a new tab and after as short time the CPU
usage maxes out, eventually killing the mouse and keyboard and
necessitating a power cycle using the power button.
This mainly happens with sites that use a similar framework to the
Dorset Echo, (eg Daily Echo, etc), so I'm pretty sure that the
problems isn't entirely to do with Chromium. The problem doesn't
occur if I use Konquerer.
If I can catch it before all control is lost, I can sometime close the
offending tab and the system recovers. After that, it seems less
sensitive.
Any thoughts?
