[SOLVED] High CPU load when viewing LL forums.

[avj]

I also notice higher cpu usage on the forum home page, which corresponds with the changing news feed. I disabled all add ons in chrome and tried with the same results. I am including a screenshot of the resource monitor showing two minutes of forum viewing, the first minute was viewing the home page and the second minute is viewing this topic.



This is my hardware info.

Hiding the news feed header solves this problem for me.
