Utopia is eating my CPU!

[tbonemacd]

Any help?
When I arrive at Utopia my CPU goes crazy, shows 100% usage:eek:, if I surf away from Utopia to any number of sites, I have no problems. This is a recent phenomenon (just noticed today). I've restarted, cleared my temp files but have the same problem.
Any thoughts from you PC experts? BTW, I run a P4 with XP and 1 Gig memory.

Help would be appreciated!

O yes. If you go to the bottom on this page you'll see a blue tool bar above the words Powered by vBulletin. In the blue tool bar Contact Us - Home Page - Archive - Top And to the left of them words is a box with Default Style and a arrow pointing down. Click the arrow and choose Blues. This is the setting I use myself. :D

That works, thanks so much! It's odd that I never noticed the problem before, perhaps I was too engrossed in the website goodies, thanks!

Your Welcome tbonemacd. So sorry you were having probems. :rainbow:

That's the fix, some folks have had minor issues, apparently because of the snowflakes, My machine goes from 100% to 10% (!) when changing between the 2 styles.

Thanks - that solved it for me too.

not a problem here

I just checked and it is the Snowflakes that is causing your CPU to jump to 100%,
on my computer it runs between 75% 95% (depending on how many snowflakes are on my screen)
but it does not seem to slow any other programs down,
when any other application needs something it just takes time away from the snowflakes so everything else still runs at the same speed.

switching to the style called "Blues" should solve the problem because it does not have the snowflakes.

I started to say I can't see it really causing a problem, but then I started thinking if you have a CPU that runs hot, then cranking it up to 100% is probably not going to do it any good. :)

Thanks for the tip, it has made a big difference on mine too
