Maby I'm going senile -but really cool min-effect now

[cariboo907]

I seem to get it with any page, see the screenshot.

Is DISQUS loading for you?!?!?

I just viewed that article again, and everything seems the same, e.g. it's still broken.

Yep, it's loading for me. I'm also not having any excessive CPU usage. It's back to being extremely slow for me again, though.

I still get this on latest Chrome and Chromium on QQ. Firefox is fine. PP+Chrome/Chromium/Firefox is OK.

I don't know, I thought it was something Javscript related, but I'm failing to find the script/function that is causing it.

I'm beginning to wonder that, as absurd as it may seem, it somehow relates to NVidia. I know, I'm completely aware of how weird it sounds.

Could anyone testing up-to-date QQ and Chromium/Chrome test this? Just open a series of other websites, monitor CPU usage with top command. Use the Dash so you get used to it's speed/responsiveness. Then open OMGUbuntu and check top for unusual CPU usage and the Dash for any decrease in visual performance. I just wanna get rid of the insane idea that this may be caused by something Nvidia....

Thanks,

Here's Chromium 22. Slow, and no DISQUS...

Here's Opera-Next. Normal speed, and DISQUS works...

Just realized you asked about OMGUbuntu.

I actually hit 100% CPU, on both cores, loading that site.

Visually, it was a little hanky on Chromium -- jerky, not smooth -- slow to load.

Also, no DISQUS...

It's shockingly fast & responsive in Opera-Next! DISQUS works fine, too.

My QQ is up to date as of a few minutes ago. By "up-to-date Chromium," do you mean the latest version in the repos or the latest version released at chromium.org? I have the latest version in the repos, and when I go to OMGUbuntu everything works pretty well. The CPU does get fired up a bit (Chromium jumps up to about 30% at times, but no higher), and the Dash does perhaps get a bit less responsive, but it is very minimal (in fact, the only minor difference I notice is that I sometimes have to click twice for the Dash to close, as though it doesn't notice the first click; otherwise, performance while doing everything else with it is as normal). DISQUS also works for me.

I'm not using an Nvidia card, though; I'm on an Intel HD 4000. Hopefully the data will help, however!

@jrog, I see you are running an Intel graphics adapter, VinDSL, effenberg0x0 and I are running Nvidia graphics adapters of various models.

The problem seems to affect Gnome-shell as well, only not as bad. I did a fresh install of the Gnome Remix beta this afternoon, and running chromium-browser and chrome, I get the results shown in the screenshot. In this case though gnome-shell is what is using more resources. In chromium with three omgubuntu tabs open, cpu usage goes up to almost 50%, where with 3 Forum tabs open gnome-shell is using from 4 to 8% cpu usage.

Interesting!

I downgraded my Chromium package files from ver 22.x -> 20.x

Everything remained the same, except DISQUS loads now.

Here's yet another screenie.

** Note the CPU usage (in Conky). It never simmered down...

Here it's that whatever at the top that causes high cpu use in X & chrome* when it's visible, goes back to normal when not (+ a few inches

typical when using chrome, nothing else but a terminal, higher then lower when scrolled down
