    Hey, not sure where to post this, but for some reason I get unusually high CPU usage while browsing this site? None other that I visit use any CPU once loaded, but no matter what part of this site I'm on, I get constant 30-50+% CPU usage.... any idea why? This is with IE 8, and also just installed Chrome to compare, and it's doing the same thing.... any ideas?

    tabletpcreview.com works fine, 0% usage once loaded, along with every other site I've tested.... what's the deal? Any idea?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, its most likely the flash ads if you are not using any ad blocking software or modified host files.

    To get a lower cpu usage on NBR, either wait for the ad campaign to get changed, or try different styles, get flashblock/adblock/no script(or some other variation, or use modified host files.

    Also, since the above linked thread is closed, continue discussion in this thread.
