[DUG] Offtopic - but....

[Roger Kingaby]

Look out for flash adverts on any page you are viewing, cricinfo, stuff and
facebook all use that sort of thing and they absolutely kill my mac. If the
kids have left facebook open and then switched users, performance goes
through the floor (particularly if all three of them have been doing the
same thing). Their FF sessions can be taking up 15-25% cpu each which is
ridiculous for a app that isn't even being actively used.
