Advert Problem

abc123

I just wanted to report a problem that I have been encountering. This happens both on my laptop and my computer when visiting PHP Builder.

There is an advert that appears on the right with a few Cheetah's running. When they sit down and wag their tail it maxes out my CPU. This as you can imagine causes my computer to run slowly.

When using my laptop with two processors one of them goes to 99%. After closing the window with the advert (which takes a while) the CPU goes back to normal.

Maybe it's just me having this problem but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

I know it sounds stupid that when they wag their tails my computer and laptop max out but it's true!

Browser and OS, as well as version of Flash player you are running? Thank you

I assume that no one else is having a problem which means that for some reason it is just my system.

I copied the .swf file with the Cheetahs to my computer and opened it in internet explorer.

The CPU goes as high as 88% which is lower than it is when viewing PHP Builder which can cause it to go to 99%.

The memory useage goes to 35,100K.

The strange thing is that while I keep the flash file running in I.E but focus on another application the CPU usage for I.E goes back to 0 and the memory stays the same at 35,100K.

If it just appears to be me having this problem then I'll just have to play around with my laptop and computer to resolve the issue.

I had thought that this was perhaps affecting other people as well but as usual it's probably just me. :-)

Thanks.

Just another bit of info.

If I right click on the flash image and select quality as low the CPU usage goes down to 25%.

Maybe I need to get myself a graphics card for the Cheetahs.

Yes, no one else has complained about it yet, but that doesn't mean they won't.
