Feedback Please! (CPU Maxxing Out on TPM)


I just realized that my CPU maxxes out when I'm on TPM.

Is anyone else having this problem?

As far as I can tell, it seems to occur only on pages with embedded video (for example, on this page everything's fine). Though it's particularly bad when using Firefox 3.0, I've also found that the CPU usage is higher than normal when the same pages are opened with Internet Explorer 7.0. (I've compared similar pages at Huffington Post, and the CPU usage is much lower with both browsers.)

Although there's a chance the problem is due to some isolated incompatibility on my system, I suspect that it might be of a more general nature.

So, if you've recognized a problem using your computer on TPM, then please recommend this. Include your system and browser info in a comment with your own observations if you get a chance.

Thanks!

My system:

OS: Windows XP, SP3
Firefox 3.0.3
Internet Explorer 7.0
