+LogicalApex MVC Posted May 22, 2014 MVC Share Posted May 22, 2014 What does your OS tell you is driving the increased CPU utilization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max22 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 What does your OS tell you is driving the increased CPU utilization? Well I use Firefox and cpu usage goes up to 25 % on amazon.com What browser do you all use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The only thing on Amazon that is causing my CPU to spike is the Adobe Flash plugin for both IE and Firefox. I'd look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max22 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 That must be it then. Sense Newegg does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frett Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Flash and Firefox are well-known memory leakers. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 about:addons > plugins > click "check to see if your plugins are up to date" at the top. Sounds like Flash is out of date. You could set it to Ask To Activate from the plugins list, and see if it speeds things up. Last resort - reset your Firefox profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Could be an extension as well. I had similar issues with Amazon and a few other sizes with a "linkification" addon, would slow the browser to a crawl as it processed the page. Once I pinned down the culprit I told it to exclude every site except for the ones I actually needed it on and the problem immediately disappeared.
