I reckon this is because there's some Javascript chundering away in the background on whatever page you've got loaded. I had a similar problem when I added a news-ticker to my Beermad site. Because I have a local copy of the site running on my N800, the news-ticker ran all night after I'd finished using the tablet. Or at least for as much of the night as it took to run the battery down. I don't think this is a bug in the browser as such, more a side-effect of the CPU used by Javascript on a device with limited battery life. The only answer I could see on the browser side might be if it stopped running embedded Javascript when the device was locked (or perhaps when the display had timed out). But then other people might have a reason why they need it to keep on running. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk/ http://www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ * No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Browserd consumes too much CPU on N810 - OS 2008 (5.2008.43)
Hi all, I'm seeing, using the top utility in N810 that very often Browserd consumes so much CPU, for example 70-80%. Not only when I'm looking a video on youtube, but even when the video is finished or if another website is alresdy loaded. This make the whole device very very slow and unresponsive. For example in this moment browserd is taking about 51% CPU... why? What is it doing? If you try to load Facebook.com website, the situation is even worse: it takes about 85% CPU simply doing nothing. Any other user is experiencing this problem? -- Andrea Grandi email: a.grandi [AT] gmail [DOT] com website: http://www.andreagrandi.it PGP Key: http://www.andreagrandi.it/pgp_key.asc ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Also, please don't unnecessarily cross-post. I know everybody thinks THEIR issue is so important that it requires spamming, but it's really not, so please send it only to the appropriate list. Which, in this case, is maemo-users. Thanks! :) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Use the iPhone version of Facebook (iphone.facebook.com) as it's streamlined and doesn't have the idiotic chat enabled.

I cross-posted because I don't know if this is only a user question or if some developer should take a look at this because it's a bug. Anyway I think that a faster JavaScript engine could help a lot reducing the CPU usage. What do you think about?
