    Microsoft Homepage Silverlight Causing CPU SPIKE!?¿?

    Oct 05, 2007 08:55 PM | LINK

    I load the Microsoft homepage and causes my CPU to jump from 0-01% for IE to 30-40%. I'm sure this is not supposed to happen. I was wondering today what was dragging my computer down. And it appears as though it was because I had the Microsoft Homepage open all day with the Silverlight running on their page. WOW!!

    After investigation this was caused by the video running in Silverlight. Apparently having that open multiple times can slow down even the fastest machine. Haha.
