rudrax Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm observing that firefox is using above 10% of CPU constantly while nsane.forums finishes loading and you stay in the homepage with just one tab opened. You minimize the browser and CPU uses lowers down to 0%. Maximize again and the CPU starts ticking constantly above 10%. I've also tried waterfox (the 64 bit version of firefox) but same scenario. In sub-forums, the CPU uses after page loading finishes is not constant but fluctuates from 1-12%. I want to know if this issue is only with me. And, I'm also looking for a firefox variant that isn't resource hungry (if there exists any). But I think the issue is with nsane.forums' contents that are present in the homepage. I've observed the CPU uses with other sites like MS download center, google facebook etc. and found avg. CPU uses remains under 5% when the page finishes loading.

dcs18 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The limited interjection that I would like to make on this thread is to (temporarily) divert attention from CPU to Memory - just sort the Memory column for a descending order (higher value down to lower.)Now the astonishing point, most might note is that it would be the browser (not limited to Firefox) that would emerge as the biggest culprit across any site (not limited to the nSane homepage.)It wouldn't be shocking to learn only the browser returning a consumption running into 3 figures - gone are the days when one's security system used to be the culprit hogging one's resources. :pope: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Found the reason. It's all due to ShoutBox. As soon as I disabled it, CPU uses drops to zero. Anyway, the ShoutBox doesn't only seem to be resource hungry for the forums' server but for end users also. But don't know, why other users aren't facing this? Any ideas?
