<pre wrap="">Google has a cute little animated graphic on it's home page today. Some kids in a pool with waves going by. That's all well and good, except that it drives my tablet cpu to 50% just continually repainting the thing. I have scripting off, so I guess the only way to turn it off is to avoid that web page. I've seen amazon pages do similar things which are probably related to flash, but, I currently have flash off as well.</pre>

It's the oldest animation technology there is: animated gif. Nothing
more than a sequence of frames that have a delay in them.<br>
<br>
If that takes 50% of your device's CPU, I'd be worried about the
software you're running on it.<br>

Hi Mike T.,<br>
<br>
Just running an Acer A500 Android tablet with Dolphin web browser.
According to a quick search on the web, the tablet has a dual core,
1000 MHz, ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and 1 GB ram. They just upgraded the
Dolphin software, and it seems slower than before at loading pages. I
cannot say how the old Dolphin would react to this gif file since I've
never had a chance to test that.<br>
<br>
This animated gif doesn't seem to bother my Firefox on my pc at all.
Of course, my smallest pc that I normally use has a dual core 2 Ghz (I
think) pentium cpu and 8 GB of ram.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<br>

call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
