879786 2010-04-25 08:55:00 I was just looking for a site that has program listings for Freeview TV. and found everything very slow.

Checking task manager I discovered Firefox was using 94% of CPU resources!

I have no idea why. It is using 56% now with no internet traffic. Firefox is setup to ask before updating, so it can't be that can it.

Neither of those links has "Freeview" listings.

They have the most popular freeview channels.

What is the EPG like on your Set Top Box? Mine is horrible.

879794 2010-04-25 10:43:00 Quite a lot of info on the sites Google found for high CPU usage:

I just found out it's the Freeview site - www.freeviewnz.tv :yuck: one of the worst websites I've seen!

CPU usage goes through the roof as soon as the page loads and stays there until I close the tab, then things return to normal.
