JohnRich 4 #1 May 24, 2010 All right, what have you guys changed? Monday, 6:00 pm CST. Every time I do something in DZ.com, the cpu cycles max out and response is sluggish. See the attached performance chart. Have you guys changed something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #3 May 25, 2010 My internet browser - I'm using old-fashioned Netscape. Just tried Internet Explorer, and it works just fine there. Problem seems limited to Netscape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #4 May 27, 2010 Thursday, 1 pm, CST. CPU consumption and response time back to normal. I changed nothing on my computer before or after all this started. What have you guys done? Fess up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 May 27, 2010 I don't think anything changed on this side. There were no notes from management to us about changes.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

likestojump 3 #9 May 31, 2010 if you really have 128MB of memory, that can be a problem in itself. It's simply not enough in today's resource intensive environment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #10 May 31, 2010 Yep, it's about an 8-year-old computer with not much memory or hard drive space per today's standards. But it limps along pretty well most of the time, just like me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that it was something that came and went in just a couple of days indicates it's not a problem inherent in the architecture - because that would make it a full-time problem. The transient nature seems to indicate that there is some outside influence at play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also using Firefox with Adblocker - are both of you guys ? If not, it could be the ads sucking up the CPU cycles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
