Re: CPU pegged for archive message from Google search using Firefox

Very odd ... you're quite right. When I visit a link in the
archive with that link <ed> http://www.google.com/search?q=ATCONTXT+ , the CPU usage for firefox pegs at 25% (dual CPU, both with HT).

Using Firebug (thanks Alfred), I was able to determine that the
search engine highlighter I was using was chewing up a lot of CPU power.

Clear your cache and try the search again.


I did not have to explicitly clear my cache, which is good, since I could not find that in FF. Probably, I had rebooted sometime since I had the issue. Anyhow, the problem no longer occurs. Thx.

Just curious... So am I to infer that code from midrange.com was what ran on my PC, to highlight the token(s) provided in a search? And visiting now [after clearing cache] that code either no longer runs or a version which does not cause the CPU is there in place.?
