I use a Mac, and I noticed that it ran the processor hard and the fan came up to maximum speed sometimes for no apparent reason. After a bit of checking out this turned out to be always the case when there were multiple flash windows on the page, such as adverts. I found a utility to suppress flash unless I specifically selected it in a window. This solved the problem completely and almost doubled battery life. It may be worth checking that the periods of high processor load coincide with high flash bearing pages. Frank On 5 May, 2011, at 04:50, Jim Nichols wrote: > Just a note of CAUTION.
