Just a heads up. If you've been finding the forum a bit slow, are using firefox and haven't got ad-blocking on by default then try blocking the CRC ad banner. Was causing my machine to sit at 95-100% CPU until I blocked it.

    Aye, it is now :)

    Didn't stop me having to go through disabling all the developer add-ons I've got just in case they were causing the issue. Didn't expect an animated gif to bring firefox to its knees.

    I knew that was the cause. Thanks for reminding me about adblock. Things are much better now :)
