I don't think your explanation necessarily suffices. I'm also running Chrome, on a battery-powered macbook. responsiveness at the above url is excellent with all the models I've tested. ditto for FF4, and for the other CDoo urls I've hit. also, Chrome never gets above 8% CPU at the above (multiple tabs and windows open), and battery drain has not been an issue at all. perhaps Windows is the issue here? <shrug> experience often differs, especially where browsers are concerned. tim -- earth:usa:virginia:blacksburg:toms creek basin behindtherabbit: twitter | facebook | diigo | tumblr rabbitwocky : chat | skype | blogspot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
