    Concur with IE too. I've now got a powerful enough machine it's still browsable, but it's a repeatedly high CPU load - normally you'd expect just one spike as it loads and then settles down, but this add seems to keep cycling a high load.

    It eats 89% CPU on an Atom N270 and I can't reload / change URL / switch to other tabs unless I scroll down so that the AD doesn't appear on my screen.

    Even on my T8300 it eats 39% CPU (78% one core) at 1.2Ghz

    Re: Dawn of War II AD.....High CPU Usage

    Oh..i see the same phenomenon. Doesn't slow down my browsing ability but it certainly eats a fair chunk of CPU useage.

    This is on an Intel Pentium D 3.4Ghz machine I use at work.
