The ads on this site are very CPU-intensive.
When you open or refresh a page you can see the CPU usage go way up in the task manager, then after a minute or so it goes back down.
This isn’t the only site that has this issue.
For whatever reason, some of the “blinking” ads are flash-based, some are .jpeg and some are .gif; they all seem to be demanding CPU-wise.
Turning off flash will help somewhat, but it will reduce the CPU usage by less than 50%
My old laptop gets quite hot and the cooling fan speeds up and becomes noisy if I open several YW pages at once.
A newer PC with more processing power will be far less likely to have this issue.
No, this is not a sponsorship offer ?
